Stories From Moominvalley is a beautiful collection of three classic
Moomin stories, based on Tove Jansson’s original works.
Join Moomintroll, his charming family and his eclectic band of friends
on a series of adventures in a picturesque land where anything can
happen: a father can be washed away in a flood, electric Hattifatteners
can appear on a desert island, and a hat with magical powers can
transform a house into a jungle! Moomin lovers of all ages will delight
at the stunning artwork that accompanies the lively, witty writing, and
become fully immersed in the beautiful Moominvalley.
Sensitively adapted for a younger audience by Alex Haridi and Cecilia
Davidsson, Stories From Moominvalley is both perfect as a gift and is a
must-have for fans of Tove Jansson’s enchanting world.
In order to survive on her own, twelve-year-old Rooney de Barra
collects precious moonlight, which she draws from the evening sky
with her (very rare and most magical) lunar mirror. All the while
she tries to avoid the rival roughhouse boys, and yet another, more
terrifying danger: the dreaded thing that's been disappearing
children in the night. When Trick Aidan, the worst of the
roughhouse boys, steals her lunar mirror, Rooney will do whatever
it takes to get it back. Even if it means leaping into a pool of
darkness after it swallows Trick and her mirror. Or braving the
Plentiful Darkness, a bewitching world devoid of sky and stars. Or
begrudgingly teaming up with Trick to confront the magician and
unravel the magic that has trapped Warybone's children.
A runaway queen. A reluctant prince. And a quest that may destroy
them both. Eight years have passed since the Battle of the Serpent.
But in the icy north, Lady Nore of the Court of Teeth, has
reclaimed the Ice Needle Citadel. There she is using an ancient
relic to create monsters of stick and snow who will do her bidding
and exact her revenge. Suren, child queen of the Court of Teeth,
and the one person with power over her mother, fled to the human
world, where she lives feral in the woods. Lonely, and still
haunted by the merciless torments she endured in the Court of
Teeth, she bides her time by releasing mortals from foolish
bargains. She believes herself forgotten until the storm hag
Bogdana chases her through the night streets. Suren is saved by
none other than Prince Oak, heir to Elfhame, to whom she was once
promised in marriage and who she has resented for years. Now
seventeen, Oak is charming, beautiful and manipulative. He's on a
mission that will lead him into the north, and he wants Suren's
help. But if she agrees, it will mean guarding her heart against
the boy she once knew and a prince she cannot trust, as well as
confronting all the horrors she thought she had left behind.
