JUN101265 Moominpapa's Memoirs sc, 176pg $6.99
JUN101266 Moominsummer Madness sc, 176pg $6.99
Four books in Tove Jansson's Moomintroll series, with illustrations by the author. The third was previously published as *Exploits of Moominpapa*. Juvies again, but they have a tang of their own and I don't hesitate to suggest you try one. My favorite is the last one, *Moominpapa at Sea*; I trust they'll get to that in time.
