  • (that’s [spoiler]text here[/spoiler]).

  • If you have a question about grammar, vocab, the story, cultural things or anything else related to the book — ask! There’s no need to be shy. If it’s something you are wondering about, chances are someone else will be thankful you asked first, lots of people enjoy answering questions, you learn something new, and the thread gets more lively. It’s a win-win on all fronts!

I was disappointed that there wasn’t an illustration of Sniff getting dragged along the ground and Moomintroll and Snuffkin getting wrapped around a tree :joy:

Also can I clarify that まっ青 means that Snorkmaiden is pale / scared etc? Googling her she doesn’t look literally deep blue.

I’m pretty sure there is a passage about how she changes color depending on her mood???

Ooh fun. I either totally missed that or haven’t got to it yet. That would make sense.
