This is the first full-length title in Tove Jansson's sequence of children's books about the Moomin family and their various friends, associates and hangers-on. It appears to be - and indeed is - a whimsical tale about the adventures among the 'little folk'. But it already shows the qualities of delicate humour, psychological subtlety and moral depth that become so extraordinarily evident in the later books. And Jansson's drawings are simply some of the best in children's literature; they are perfectly reproduced in this beautiful new edition. A lovely introduction to a wonderful series.
