I liked the later Moomintroll books, and that one especially, but agree it's dark. I read it as an adult. She always had adult sentiments/people-observation in there I think, perhaps subtler and to a lesser degree in the early ones, but brought it to the fore especially in that one, and I think it's the best for it.
