Outside, the cold went up against the night and the moonlight shone through all the green and red windowpanes.
Tell me about snow, said Moomintroll and sat down in his father's sun-bleached garden chair. I don't understand it.
Neither do I, said Too-Ticky. You think it's cold, but if you build a house from it it's warm. You think it's white, but sometimes it's pink, and sometimes blue. It can be the softest thing of all and it can be harder than stone. Nothing is certain.
In which Moomintroll wakes up to what looks like a dead, cold winter world, and gradually discovers so much about it. One of the best things written about winter and growing up, and, knowing that Too-Ticky is based on Jansson's girlfriend, quite a sweet understated love story as well.
