Featuring the much loved stories in Waterstone's Oxfam bestseller, The Invisible Child and The Fir Tree - the Moomins' gloriously funny and generous take on Christmas - Tales from Moominvalley collects together nine delightful Moomin short stories. Highlights include The Spring Tune (which Jarvis Cocker described as the best story about composing music) and The Last Dragon in the World, revealing the true essence of friendship. A perfect Christmas gift to complete the set of Moomin classics.

MEDIA REVIEWS
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
[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.
