Synopsis Author

If you found a tiny golden dragon with green paws, would you know what to do with it?
Well, Moomintroll thinks he knows what to do. But when he takes his new-found pet home, things don't quite work out as planned!

Here is a delightful collection of stories in which Moomintroll meets some new characters such as the Fillyjonk and the Hattifatteners, as well as sharing adventures with old friends, namely Snufkin and Little My.

MEDIA REVIEWS
I have long been a passionate Moomin appreciator - it's not just Tove Jansson's wonderfully strange fairytale world that so appeals but also her beautiful line work and exquisite sense of design -- Lauren Child

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.

“Are we moomins, or are we dancers?”

These short stories have the timeless beauty of parables. You can read into them as much, or as little, as you choose. Even more than in the other books, there is a sense in ‘Tales from Moominvalley’ of a larger... More

This was the first Moomin book by Tove Jansson to be a collection of short stories, instead of a novel. Here then we have The Spring Tune, A Tale of Horror, The Fillyjonk who Believed in Disasters, The Last Dragon in... More
