Moominvalley in November (Swedish: Sent i november, 'Late in November') is the ninth and final book in the Moomin series by Finnish author Tove Jansson, and was first published in her native Swedish in 1970, and in English in 1971. Set contemporaneously with her 1965 novel Moominpappa at Sea, it is the only book in the series where the titular Moomin family are absent. Instead it focuses on a set of other characters, including Toft and Snufkin, who come to live at Moominhouse during the onset of winter whilst its inhabitants are away, and their interactions with each other. The book has been described as being about loss and the finiteness of life, with a sombre tone. Jansson commented that she was unable to go back to the happy Moominvalley, so the series came to an end. Jansson felt that the book might be enjoyed more by adults than by children. Readers have said that the book feels like autumn, and is a comfort for people depressed by Scandinavia's dark Novembers. The book addresses serious themes including the existential, the unconscious, and the melancholic, expressing feelings from anxiety and longing to transience and restlessness. The text has been described as both self-reflexive and metafictional.
