I have searched for this book from a vague memory of Moomintroll and Little My. I read this book as a kid, and have recently begun searching for it, without remembering the title or author. I just found it at a tiny little lending library in Costa Rica!

I still want to write, and now, 20 years later, I am smiling to myself as I re-read about Moomintroll awakening alone in the middle of the winter, when he should be fast ahibernating.
Must be good to have remembered it so very many years.
