Yes, we did spot that. Did Cresswell write the Demon Headmaster too?

Yeah she seemed to write about a million children’s books and tv shows in the 70s and 80s.

I was sure it Gillian Cross.

EDIT: it was, and Cresswell did the TV adaptation. Duh.

Must be a nice way to get tv adaptations of your own books sewn up too, also being one of the main scriptwriters in the “adaptations of children’s books” industry.

I just looked to find out where the show was filmed, and it’s a National Trust house, and the statue is also in the garden there.

Oh, the moomins. shudder

Fuck! Used to go there as a child all the time!

I went to this earlier this year. An exhibition of Tove Jansson’s work, but instead of a normal gallery, they constructed sets of different scenes from the Moomin books, and a tour guide walked you through and talked about her life and work. It was great.
