Join Moomintroll and his friends as they set out to solve a curious mystery in this brand new picture book based on the original stories by Tove Jansson. If you haven' t met a Moomin yet, you' re missing the most magical fun . . . It' s a long, lazy midsummer afternoon in Moominvalley and the whole family are relaxing outdoors. But suddenly Moominpappa' s precious notebook and fountain pen vanish, and the garden starts to feel unseasonably cold. Can Moomintroll and his friends follow the clues and solve this curious mystery?
Tove Jansson was born in Finland in 1914. She began her career as a cartoonist and went on to write and illustrate many books for adults and children. She drew her first Moomin in the 1930s, just for fun, and in 1945 he became a character in a children' story. Tove became world-famous for her Moomin books, which began with The Moomins and the Great Flood in 1945, closely followed by Comet in Moominland in 1946, Finn Family Moomintroll in 1948 and six more Moomin adventures. During the winter months Tove lived and worked in Helsinki, but in the summertime she stayed on a beautiful remote island in the Gulf of Finland with her long-term partner, the artist Tuulikki Pietil . Tove Jansson received many prestigious awards during her lifetime, including the international Hans Christian Andersen Medal. She died in 2001, aged eighty-seven.
