I would usually give Moomin books a 5 star but I have to give this one a four. Still, very interesting as it explores some characters within the moominverse more deeply, love the character development, a lot of themes in this book is regarding freedom or something of that sort and there’s loads of philosophical moments which I enjoy maybe bc of this it contributes to one flaw which isn’t so big — it took me quite some time to finish this book, the pace felt somewhat slow compared to previous books I’ve read. I speed read the last few pages bc of this 

In these nine delightfully funny stories, readers will discover how the Moomin family spend their first Christmas out of hibernation, how they save young Ninny from permanent invisibility, and what happens when Moomintroll catches the last dragon in the world.
