The Complete Amateur’s Guide to Moomin

By popular demand, I have compiled every video in my ’Amateur’s Guide to Moomin’ into one convenient video, With additional footnotes, corrections, and a newly added section discussing the changes that have occurred with the Moomin series since the publishing of the original videos. Join me as I explore the series’ history and its author, Tove Jansson, to discover what we can learn from this peaceful family of trolls. Special Thanks to Kiki from @Transparencyboo for the Swedish translation and fact checking. Watch @DrawpinionDump ’s videos on Moomin here!
