Frank Cottrell Boyce in the Guardian sums up Moominland perfectly when he writes 'Jansson valorised coffee and pancakes and reticence and the mystery of others. But more to the point she showed me how it might be just those small pleasures that keep us together when we start to grow apart; that when words fail you can still express love by making sure the roof isn't leaking, the woodshed is full and the meal ready. Competence, manners and hospitality will keep us connected when nothing else will. We can tolerate any amount of difference, as long as we all agree to share the raspberryade.'
