Huh. I kind of lost the plot recently. I was intrigued by the 'proto-moomins,' but it seems they were more of a passing novelty than anything that really shed light on moomin history. Or maybe I missed something there. I wonder if she ever returned to their development?
A couple things I did learn recently are that moomins are in fact trolls (at least of the Finnish variation, perhaps), and snorks are technically not the same species, altho it seems rather plain that they must be closely related.
