The Moomins and the Great Flood

Essential reading for any lover of the Moomins. This is where it all began. Created in 1945, yet published in this country for the very first time, offers an extraordinary glimpse into the creativity and imagination that launched the Moomin books. Moominmamma and young Moomintroll search for the long lost Moominpappa through forest and flood, meeting a little creature (an early Sniff) and the elegantly strange Tulippa along the way. Tove Jansson illustrates her first-ever Moomin adventure with stunning sepia watercolour and delightful pen and ink drawings. A revelation for Moomin fans. Other Moomin picture books include The Book About Moomin, Mymble and Little My, Who Will Comfort Toffle? and The Dangerous Journey.
