The Memoirs of Moominpappa

So begins Moominpappa's remarkable Memoirs, written to delight his son Moomintroll and friends. What emerges is a story about storytelling itself as one fabulous tale follows another, and not just about Moominpappa but Sniff and Snufkin's father's too - the rather muddled Muddler and the carefree Joxter. Add to this mix the genius inventor Hodgkins, and a grand finale in which Moominpappa rescues a shipwrecked Moominmamma from the waves, and the fun becomes irresistible. The Memoirs of Moominpappa, which Tove Jansson rewrote from the original Exploits of Moominpappa, is published for the first time in the UK in this Collector's Edition.
