Toffle’s quest to save Miffle from the dreadful Groke is an inspiring tale that every child (and many adults) are sure to identify with. Too shy at first to approach the many colourful Moomin characters he passes along the way, he gains confidence by discovering a scared and lonely Miffle who needs help. Who Will Comfort Toffle? is a tale from Moominvalley and shows how Toffle is driven from his home by the frightening noises of the forest. Toffle is too shy to speak to anyone – until he discovers a creature even more afraid than him. This book depicts the magical and universally appealing story of Toffle, a lonely, timid creature who journeys in search of friendship and confidence. Instead, we meet Fillyjonks, jolly Hemulens, Mymble, Snufkin and a whole bunch of other characters. Who Will Comfort Toffle? is set in Moominvalley, but doesn’t feature any Moomins.
