Any sort of story you get with the Moomins is going to be so utterly charming, whether that comes from the personable art style or the fantastical hi-jinks the characters engage in. I've read a few Moomin stories now and finally I've been able to read the story that started their novel adventures. It's simple, sweet, to-the-point. It's a light sort of adventure that's perfect for right before bedtime, lulling you to sleep with images of vasts forest, flower women, and ferocious ant lions.
