Celebrating 'Moomins 80' - a beautiful new edition of the first ever Moomin tale

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

In the run-up to Moomins’ eightieth anniversary in 2025, the spotlight is on The Moomins and the Great Flood and the first glimpse it offers of Moomin Valley. Tove Jansson wrote this first ever Moomin story in 1945, in the wake of World War II, and although a children's tale, it vividly evokes the displacement of refugees throughout Europe at the time.

A global Moomin.com campaign will celebrate the eighty years of the Moomins with the slogan 'the door is always open', emphasising Jansson's timely message of kindness and inclusiveness towards those forced to flee to safety.

This new format edition includes an introduction by much-loved author Frank Cottrell-Boyce and a full-colour fold-out 'Moomin history' poster.
