A special box set celebrating the 80th anniversary of the Moomin novels has arrived!
Perfect for a gift or for your collection.
This box set contains the newly revised Kodansha Bunko edition of the Moomin novels (all nine volumes).
The box is lavishly decorated with Tove Jansson's illustrations, selected from the Moomin novels. Just looking at them will bring to mind scenes from the novels.
2025 marks the 80th anniversary of Tove Jansson's The Great Flood (1945).
This work, which marks the first appearance of the Moomins, was written by Tove as a means of comforting herself during the war.
Kodansha Bunko has been introducing the Moomin stories since 1978. To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Moomin novels in 2025, the Kodansha Bunko edition has also been updated with a new edition.
The new Kodansha Bunko edition of the Moomin novels features revised translations and easier-to-read typesetting. The beautiful cover design, which matches the original book, adds to the joy of reading the stories and having the books in hand.
Tove Jansson created all of the text and illustrations herself. Just as the creatures that appear in the Moomin stories are all unique and lively, each of the nine Moomin novels has its own unique personality.
Enjoy all the Moomin novels in this box set containing all nine books!
