a beautiful melancholic tale

the narrator is brilliant and carries the character's energies through his voice.
the story is beautifully constructed.
it may seem just a children's book, but it actually has a deep underlying message, one of hope, loneliness, and friendship.

story synopsis:
The story follows various character's, as they all make their way to moominvalley to meet with the moomins.
All of them can not find the meaning they want in life. They are all stuck, one by one, we watch the mymble, grandpa grump, toffle, fillyjonk, the hemulin and snufkin all converge at moominvalley.
when they all find out that the moomns are not home they don't know what to do, and all these characters end up living together, for the autumn, in the moomin house.
strange and magical things happen around them, and character's are confronted with their own fears- and they overcome them.
The story manages to create a sad but beautiful atmosphere. One of feeling summer fading and of autumn creeping apon them.
All the characters are relatable and grow on their journey.
This story will touch your heart with it's melancholic whimsy and magical realism.
It's comforting in it's loneliness.
