I’ve never seen her Alice or Hobbit illustrations, but her artwork for her Moomin books was a large part of the magic while reading them as a child. Even returning to them as an adult, I find them very special. Just recently bought her autobiography of her childhood which I have to get around to reading. I’ve also got a third picture book coming from England that I couldn’t get here. Thanks for the link.
If you haven’t read them, you should give them a go. Especially if you have a kid you know who needs a present.
I can safely say I have never read a single Moomin - gonna have to give it a whirl, I can easily pass them along to my niece
