Sort Of books are publishing a Winter Book which contains 15 - or was it 13? - of the stories from Sculptor's Daughter plus 5 previously unpublished stories. It will be available in early November. YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(And Yah Boo Sucks to the person trying to sell Sculptor's Daughter on ebay for £850!)
And now to rush upstairs with loose-bottomed dd2 who has just been making worrying and lengthy burbling noises in my lap...)

I'd love to attempt a moomin mural one day - but better see whether ds grows up being 'into' them first we do have complete moomins (fuzzy felt Polish animation) on dvd though, so there is hope!

v. sweet but v. expensive! There is a shop in Bath that sells a variety of Moomin items. I occasionally go in and browse conspicuously. Still, I can always get dp to do me a moomin mug (he does sublimation printing) but we're awash with mugs!

It is lovely, but quite unlike the moomin books. Read it!

It's on my shelf...unread
I've been meaning to get round to reading it for aaages. I want to read it but keep putting it off, in case it's not quite what I imagine it is (would hate to spoil how I feel about the Moomins series, iykwim). Is it good ??
