When I was young my Mom took a course on European Children's Literature, and one of the books she gave me from the course to read was Tove Jasson's
FINN FAMILY MOOMINTROLL. I loved it, reading it many times over, and I've always had a warm spot in my heart for the characters and for the beautiful illustrations...

I was delighted to discover that
DRAWN has posted a
link to JANSSON'S illustrations for THE HOBBIT, which I was previously unaware of....ENJOY!
