About this title

Review:

They seem to grow in wisdom and delight every time I read them...a perfect marriage of word and picture (Philip Pullman)

I have long been a passionate Moomin appreciator - it's not just Tove Jansson's wonderfully strange fairytale world that so appeals but also her beautiful line work and exquisite sense of design (Lauren Child)

Book Description:

Special Collectors' Edition lovingly restored to its original stunning design.
