Moominland Midwinter

Tove Jansson2017
Special collectors' hardback editions lovingly restored to original designs'I love these editions-so beautifully produced, so solid and permanent, just as Tove Jansson deserved.' Philip PullmanA beautiful collectors' edition of this classic Moomin story, using original 50s and 60s cover artwork, a fold out map and gorgeous endpapers.Moomins always sleep through the winter while the snow settles all around them, waking up in time for spring and the arrival of Snufkin and other friends. Or they did until one year when Moomintroll happened to wake up and find himself all alone in a sleepy, dusty house in a silent, snow-covered valley. In this moving story of a small, brave Moomin finding his way in the mysterious world of winter we discover that there are always new friends to be found - like the calm and wise Too-ticky and the irrepressible Little My - and new ways to play and be kind.From the publisher of The Invisible Child and The Fir Tree (all proceeds to Oxfam) here's the Moomin gift editions.

It’s dead. All the world has died while I slept. This world belongs to somebody else whom I don’t know.

‘Frighten me if you can,’ he thought happily. ‘I’m wise to you now. You’re no worse than anything else when one gets to know you.

‘It’s only I who am awake and sleepless. It’s only I who have to wander and wander, day after day and week upon week, until I too become a snowdrift that no one will even know about.’

The sea lay asleep under the ice, and deep down among the roots of the earth all small beasts were sleeping and dreaming of spring.

I’m cold! I’m lonely! I want the sun back again!’
