Perfect for readers of all ages, join the beloved, world-famous characters of Moominvalley on an unforgettable adventure in Tales from Moominvalley ―includes black-and-white illustrations throughout. “Genius.” ―Philip Pullman “Clever, gentle, witty, and completely engrossing.” ―Jeff Smith, author of Bone In nine delightfully funny stories about the triumphs and tribulations of the citizens of Moominvalley, readers will discover how the Moomin family save young Ninny from permanent invisibility, and what happens when Moomintroll catches the last dragon in the world. In the 80 years since the first Moomin novel appeared, Tove Jansson’s timeless stories have continued to captivate audiences across the globe with their adventure, humor, and endless wisdom. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a first-time visitor to Moominvalley, these classic books are a must-have for anyone who wishes the world was a bit more magical. The original Moomin novels by Tove Jansson: ● Comet in Moominland ● Finn Family Moomintroll ● Moominpappa’s Memoirs ● Moominsummer Madness ● Moominland Midwinter ● Tales from Moominvalley ● Moominpappa at Sea ● Moominvalley in November Books for the littlest Moomin fans, up to 3 years old: ● Moomin’s Lift the Flap Hide and Seek: with Big Flaps for Little Hands ● Moomin’s Little Book of Numbers ● Moomin’s Little Book of Words Review: All are sweet, insightful, occasionally melancholy and never entirely predictable - I've bought this book for several people now. It's one of our favorites. Little guy is 5, and I'm way older. The illustrations are interesting and many. The stories almost defy description. Many are allegories for psychological challenges... and social difficulties. All are sweet, occasionally melancholy, unexpectedly and irreverently funny, and poetic. The writing is really some of the most un-self-conciously skillful I've encountered. On par with Alfredo Vea Jr, Sr. Suess, Lynda Barry and Amy Herrick (at her best--At the Sign of the Naked Waiter). The excerpt that sold me on this book, and which is still one of my favorites, is from The Spring Tune: "'It's the right evening for a tune,' Snufkin thought. A new tune, one part expectation, two parts spring sadness, and for the rest just the great delight of walking alone and liking it." The narratives are fairly easy to understand. Nothing about this book is unnecessarily obscure/obtuse, but neither is it ever predictable. What a strange and wonderful combination. Review: you'll probably be just as happy as I was to know that the books are ... - If you grew up with the Moomintrolls just as I did, you'll probably be just as happy as I was to know that the books are not only available but still in print and you can order brand new unblemished copies. If you didn't grow up with the Moomintroll books, it's never too late to learn to love them or teach the kids in your life to do so. To the uninitiated, it's hard to explain what makes the Moomintrolls so great. Sometimes there are great adventures in their tales but often they are distinguished from other so-called children's literature by the quiet, philosophical bent of much of the text. Either way they're gems not to be missed. (NOTE: when I say "so-called children's literature" it's not because I disdain children's literature but rather that I disdain the idea that it's just for children. A Wrinkle in Time, the Moomintroll books, The Phantom Tollbooth, these are great books and they remain worth reading at any age.) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #266,302 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #2,404 in Children's Classics #3,889 in Fantasy for Children | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 709 Reviews | ## Images ![Tales from Moominvalley (Moomins, 6) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WawBs3-IL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All are sweet, insightful, occasionally melancholy and never entirely predictable *by A***T on August 9, 2015* I've bought this book for several people now.
