Tove Jansson: The Moomins and the Great Flood (80th anniversary edition)

In the run-up to Moomins eightieth anniversary (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.

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

Learn about the journey of how Moomins came into being, from private jokes within Tove Jansson's family to a need to escape the realities of war, here.
