Join Moomintroll, his family and their friends in beautiful
Moominvalley, where everyone is welcome. Surprising things happen
every day in Moominvalley - luckily the Moomin family and their
friends embrace the unexpected with their characteristic humour,
kindness and charm. This beautiful book contains nine exciting
adventure stories - all closely based on the warm and whimsical
Moomin world and characters created by the celebrated writer,
artist and illustrator Tove Jansson. Presented in chronological
order, each story in Adventures in Moominvalley is taken from an
episode of the 3D animation series and set in the idyllic and
peaceful valley where the round blue Moominhouse stands. The
stories describe the adventures of Moomintroll, his parents,
Moominmamma and Moominpappa and their eclectic and happy band of
friends - Little My, Snufkin, Snorkmaiden, the hattifatteners and
other famous characters from the classic stories. The stories in
this collection will delight Moomin fans of all ages. In one story
Moomintroll sails to the mysterious Hattifattener island and in
another, he finds a tiny dragon. The Moomins temporarily move
house, Snufkin composes a new spring tune and Moomintroll
encounters the mysterious Groke.

Hobgoblin and his extraordinary hat, and encounter a magical mural.
Meanwhile, Snufkin, Mrs Fillyjonk, Mymble and the others gather in
the Moominhouse to wait for the family to come back to Moominvalley
. . . Illustrated throughout with gorgeous full-colour art from the
acclaimed animation, Return to Moominvalley is the third storybook
in the collection, based on episodes from Moominvalley series 2.

& Bob, Toffle, and the Lighthouse Keeper, and retell some of

Moomins' trademark humour, kindness and tolerance, this beautiful
collection of stories captures all the wit and whimsy of Tove
Jansson's original Moomin stories and is sure to be treasured by

shifting. Horses and foxes that turn into handsome princes, thorns
that turn into woods, and a tiny stone that becomes an enormous
rock - these are some of the amazing transformations that take

from jealous stepmothers and gruesome ghosts to chivalrous princes
and beautiful princesses, are some of the most memorable in all
folk literature. Read of the poor seal woman taken from the sea by
a wicked farmer, of the magic black horse that could y over
mountains, and of Kate Crackernuts who married the prince of her
dreams after she had cured him of his illness. Superbly illustrated
throughout, this lovely anthology will delight readers of all ages.
