Synopsis
Comet In Moominland (Swedish title Kometjakten / Mumintrollet på kometjakt / Kometen kommer) is the second in the series of Tove Jansson's Moomin books, published in 1946. An earlier story The Moomins and the Great Flood exists, but Comet in Moominland is often seen as first novel in the series as it introduces many of the main characters, like Snufkin and the Snork Maiden, and is set in Moominvalley.
