Moominsummer Madness by Tove Jansson is the fourth Moomin novel, and it begins on a hot June day with a faraway volcano dropping black ash on Moominmamma's washing. Then a crack op ens in the ground and Moomintroll's toothbrush disappears straight down into it. Then a flood wave comes crashing through the valley, and the Moomins end up in a most unusual new home: a floating theatre. A string of strange adventures unfolds, odd even by Moomin standards. Translated by Thomas Warburton. Reissued in the A Puffin Book series with a new cover to mark 80 years of Moomin stories. Paperback192 pagesAges 8+ Show more
