Taikatalvi by Tove Jansson

This is by far the most different book of all the Moomin series; it feels so different, not only in Tove's writing but in the themes and Moomintroll himself.
How moomintroll feels and how winter is described makes so much sense if you know what was happening in Tove's life, with all the moomins becoming incredibly merchantilized and stuff, and also how she just wanted to rest.
shoutout to Too-ticky, please; she is SO underrated as a character.
