I, too, just want to plant potatoes and dream.
This volume is crazy. It's divided into four stories, and each of these follows absurd plots. There's robbers, a lavish hotel, love triangles, get rich quick schemes, annoying relatives, all packaged in charming naivety and wit. This wholesome absurdity serves as a well needed palette cleanser between more "serious" reads.
Highly recommended but especially if you've never encountered moomins before and want an introduction to an aloof family of, parson my 21st century anachronism, of walking memes. Charming, delightful, and oh so fun. 4.5 stars on SG rounded up to 5 on GR.
A big thanks to my library for carrying the old and large vintage bound volumes. Onto volume 2!!
