This book mainly follow the story of the hobgoblin’s hat and the misadventures that moomin, his family and friends go through. This book features so many interesting snippets that is quite different from the famous Moomin cartoon. They definitely changed the script for the cartoon. For instance, it was snork and moomin who caught the ant-lion, not snufkin and mooomin also they called the duplicate of the king’s ruby as the queen’s ruby which is something new that is not presented in the cartoon if I am not mistaken. Also, I absolutely love the parts where hemulen acted as a interpreter for thingumy and bob… him being the only one who understands and even went as far as to defend them is so cute, it melts my heart.

'Give me something to munch,' said the Hobgoblin. 'This is getting on my nerves.'

Moominmamma at once bustled forward with pancakes and jam, and gave him a big plateful.

While the Hobgoblin was eating they edged a little nearer. Somebody who eats pancakes and jam can't be so awfully dangerous. You can talk to him.

'Does it taste good?' asked Thingumy.

'Yes, thanks,' said the Hobgoblin. I haven't had a pancake for the last eighty-five years."

It was the August moon.

It sailed up, a deep orange colour, unbelievably big and a little frayed round the edges like a tinned apricot, filling Moomin Valley with mysterious lights and shadows.
