An appreciation of the life and art of Tove Jansson, creator of the Moomin books, which are adored by children and adults across the globe.
This book provides fresh insights and a deeper appreciation of the life and art of Tove Jansson (1914-2001), one of the most original, influential and perennially enjoyed illustrators of the 20th century. Jansson's flourishing Moomin books are examined in detail, as are her interpretations of such classics as Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and The Hunting of the Snark, and J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit.
Born in Helsinki among the Swedish-speaking Finnish minority, Jansson was brought up with a love for making art and stories in a supportive artistic family. Her first illustrated tales were published when she was fourteen years old. From a year later until 1953, she drew humorous and political cartoons as well as striking front covers for the satirical magazine Garm, responding to the Second World War and its aftermath as she developed from art student to painter and muralist, bohemian and lesbian. This book also explores the emergence of her Moomin world, appearing in her first children's book in 1945 and then in newspaper strips. These would lead to her being headhunted by the London Evening News, the world's biggest-selling evening paper, to write and draw a daily Moomin newspaper cartoon. This body of work is one of her great achievements, expanding her stories, settings and cast and invigorating her drawing and writing. Jansson also wrote many novels, documented here along with personal commentaries from her own writings.

Functional pants, safe bed, accurate color.
Size: 34W x 32L, Color: Dark Olive, Size: 34W x 32L, Color: Dark Olive
I think these pants are very functional, the color is very accurate, the fit is good, I think it is a very safe choice for someone looking for safe pick.
I have not tried washing them so i am not sure about wrinkle resistance, I may update my review later. But out of the box, they were not wrinkled.
Thickness is decent, not too thick or thin.
Since I got it for some discount, the value was good.
The image is in yellow lighting.

You get what you pay for.
I have 4 pairs of these pants. Originally, I gave them a five star review because the fit was perfect, they are comfortable, and looked nice. I have worn them several times and they seemed to be well made.
However, I've changed my rating to three stars. I've washed 3 of the 4 pairs I bought. The black pair came out o.k.. The olive and grey pairs are not color fast. The olive pair faded considerably in the wash and has a definite brown tinge to it in the thighs and knees. The grey pair did not fade as much, but you can also see that brown tinge in the thighs and knees. I can still wear them as work pants, but I was disappointed. I have also noticed that the inside of the front pockets have excessive wear.
The bottom line is that these pants do not cost much, but will probably not last long. Are they worth $30? Personally, I'd rather pay more and get better quality. I had put several other Goodthreads items on my wishlist, but now I'm rethinking that.
