Meet the Moomins - all 8 magical adventures relaunched in a stunning new package.

Celebrating 80 years since the first Moomin book was published!

Rediscover the A Puffin Book series and bring the best-loved classics to a new generation - including this magical edition of Tales from Moominvalley complete with a charming new cover design.

If you found a tiny golden dragon would you know what to do with it? Moomintroll thinks he does, but when he takes his new-found pet home, things don't quite go to plan. And suppose Too-ticky brought you an invisible child, would you know how to make her visible again? Meet new and delightful characters and re-encounter old friends, such as Snufkin and Little My in this entertaining collection of stories about life in Moominvalley. There are some new characters to meet, such as the Fillyjonk and the Hattifatteners, as well as old friends, namely Snufkin and Little My - and not to mention dear Moominpappa, Moominmamma and Moomintroll of course!

They seem to grow in wisdom and delight every time I read them - Philip Pullman

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's 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 Pietilä. Tove Jansson received many prestigious awards during her lifetime, including the international Hans Christian Andersen Medal. She died in 2001, aged eighty-seven.
