Looking across a road at a bus stop in front of a low wall by the sea. A low rosy light as the winter sun fades cast on clouds over the sea.

‘Let me stop here, at this remarkable turning point of my stormy youth...transformed into sense and wisdom while losing little of the enchantment and liberty that have led me to write them down.’ ~ The Exploits of Moominpappa, Tove Jansson for
#BookWormSat
Moominpappa stands in the center of the oval-framed illustration. He is shown leaning casually against a small, fluted column. Moominpappa is encircled by a dense, lush border of various plants, large flowers, leaves, butterflies, and other small characters from the Moomin universe, including a ghost figure.
