Moominsummer Madness

Author:Tove Jansson

Soon to be MOOMINVALLEY, a MAJOR ANIMATED SERIES on SKY ONE starring Taron Egerton and Rosamund Pike!

It all began with a hot day in June, and a volcano dropping black ash on Moominmamma's washing.

Then a crack appeared in the ground, and Moomintroll's toothbrush slipped straight down into the dark and yawning earth.

Then a great flood wave came crashing through Moomin Valley.

And that was why the Moomins found themselves a new home, and why they all had so many strange adventures, ones that were odd even by Moomin standards. . .

Reviews

They seem to grow in wisdom and delight every time I read them... a perfect marriage of word and picture.

—— Philip Pullman

Beautiful words. Anarchic illustrations. Tove Jansson is a genius.

—— Jenny Downham

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

Wonderfully eccentric

—— Publishers Weekly

These are the most brilliant, beautiful and silly picture-books out there at the moment. Little doorways of joy.

—— Caitlin Moran

Fantastic journeys, courageous exploits and dastardly deeds...an engrossing read.

—— Young Post

Takes the reader on an enthralling journey through the world of plotters and weavers, storytellers and imagination, in this sweeping, complex allegory about families and love
