I haven't had a chance yet to see the new Tove film, but I'm definitely looking forward to it--and hopefully before this fall, when I'll be discussing a few of Jansson's Moomin books for Signum Academy on twitch. (Nor have we watched any of the Moomins TV shows yet, but I expect William and I will be getting around to it soon :)
In the meantime, as they're being uploaded to youtube for posterity, here's where I'll keep a record of the discussions I've been doing for the young folks on twitch. These videos of mine are nowhere near worthy of the source material; nevertheless, they're the best I had in me. If nothing else, I hope my love for these stories comes through and helps at least a few people go back and read the books for themselves. Enjoy!
