    Summary

    Snufkin begrudgingly agrees to join his boyfriend's family trip to the Riviera- a wonderland of capitalism, materialism, and overstimulation. As the romance and glamor of the Riviera fractures the Moomin clan, Snufkin and Moomintroll's strong bond is put to the test.

    Summary

    Snufkin wakes in the forest, wounded, with no recollection of why.
    To make matters worse, this Moomin fellow seems to be quite sure they know each other.
    Snufkin would think he’d remember meeting such a marvelous creature.
    …Right?

    Summary

    “So. There’s also something else I wanted to talk to you both about – well, all of the family do, really,” the Joxling said. “We’d love you to come to the wedding. But um…”

    She trailed off. Both men stared at her blankly. Oh dear. She had been rather hoping they would connect the dots themselves, but it seemed that wasn’t going to be happening.

    “Well,” she said. “It’s just. It is on the mainland. And we think it might be…difficult for you to get back.”

    There was a wary glint in Moominmorfar’s eyes, and he pressed his ears back against his skull. Before he could say anything, however, Snufkinmorfar interrupted:

    “Now what would make you say that? Is there a squall on the way?”

    “No, no, it’s just…” she said, swallowing. “You’re both getting on in years, and the journey isn’t easy. And – you know. We worry about you out here by yourselves.”

    “Worry about us?” said Snufkinmorfar with a careless laugh. “We’re your grandparents. I believe we’re meant to be doing the worrying.”

    Summary

    “Now, now,” Snufkin told himself. “It could be a coincidence…”

    A coincidence, that a poem with the exact same title and opening lines as his own work had made its way to publication? Unlikely.

    Snufkin didn’t have his original copy to compare the stolen poem against. He only enjoyed writing poetry. Afterwards, he never really wanted to revisit it or share it. He just left the old notebook behind somewhere and procured a new one, ready to start again.

    There was no denying the familiarity, though. After hearing it in Moominpappa’s voice, he couldn’t remember when or where he penned it, but the work was certainly his.

    That didn’t solve the issue of how this De Hemulton fellow had come to claim it as his own, or why.
