Is that 1957 date when the book was originally published in Swedish? When was it published in other languages? I'm sure that this was the the 1st Momminland book I ever read in New York when I was in 3rd-ish grade (~1961). I remember sitting on the floor in the library's stacks while I read it. What was the critical reception for this and the other Moominland books? I read somewhere that they are based on Finnish folk tales, yet there's no mention of the inspiration.

Wordreader hey, I see you're still active on Wikipedia. You should ask at the Wikipedia:Reference desk for more information. I'm not a Finn or a Swede, so I wouldn't know. Good luck finding more information about it! User:Tetizeraz. Send me a ✉️ ! 23:34, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
