About the series
Maija Mehiläinen taskukirja, published by Sanoma from 1987 to 1990, collected the adventures of the beloved Finnish comic character Maija Mehiläinen in a compact pocket-sized format. Spanning just 11 issues, this series gathered stories originally serialized in the popular Maija Mehiläinen comic magazine, making them accessible for new readers and collectors alike. The series is most closely associated with its creator, Tove Jansson, whose gentle, whimsical art and storytelling defined the character's world of tiny adventures and cozy nature. Though short-lived, it remains a charming artifact of Finnish comics history, preserving Jansson's work in a handy, durable edition.
