Synopsis Author
Special Collectors' Edition Hardback

When signs appear that a comet is heading towards their beloved Moominvalley, Moomin and his friend Sniff set sail to consult with the professors in the distant Lonely Mountains.

Their journey is full of adventures and narrow escapes; from crocodiles, giant lizards, eagles and the like, but new friends - soon to become firm friends - help lighten the way.

In this first and most exciting Moomin novel, we meet the wandering Snufkin, the fascinating Snork Maiden and her brother the Snork as they join Moomin in his race to get home to Moominmamma before the comet crashes.

"I love these editions - so beautifully produced, so solid and permanent, just as Tove Jansson deserved" - Philip Pullman

"Tove Jansson is one of the greatest children's writers there has ever been" - Sir Terry Pratchett

Created by Swedish-speaking Finnish author and illustrator Tove Jansson, the Moomins have been enchanting readers around the world since the first Moomin story, Moomins and the Great Flood, appeared in 1945. Now her stories are amongst the best-loved in the world, celebrating themes of love, tolerance and equality mixed with a good dose of common sense.

Explore our range of Moomin books, games and gifts and get lost in the wonderful world of the Moomins on our Moomin Page.

MEDIA REVIEWS
Tove Jansson is one of the greatest children's writers there has ever been -- Sir Terry Pratchett
I love these editions - so beautifully produced, so solid and permanent, just as Tove Jansson deserved -- Philip Pullman
(These editions) are simply stunning, and an absolute must-read. The Moomin novels are timeless stories full of adventure and heartwarming values - perfect for Christmas. * The Bookseller *

Known primarily as the creator of the Moomins, Finnish author Tove Jansson was a novelist, painter and illustrator, part of a minority Swedish-speaking community in Finland. As well as creating the Moomin books for children, which began with The Moomins and the Great Flood, she also wrote six novels including The Summer Book, The True Deceiver and the semi-autobiographical Sculptor’s Daughter and five collections of short stories for adults, some of her most popular stories in translation are collected in A Winter Book.
