Moomin and the Forbidden Park
While picking flowers on Midsummer's Eve, Moomintroll, Snufkin and Little My discover a park in the middle of the forest. ‘Forbidden to enter without permission’ and a lot of other admonitions are written on the warning signs behind the high fence. An angry Hemulen keeps a close watch to make sure no one in the park has fun. What nonsense, thinks Snufkin, who dislikes all kinds of bans. The forest belongs to everyone!
Flaming midsummer bonfires, hattifattens and a prickly policeman are some of the ingredients in this magical summer fairy tale, inspired by Tove Jansson's classic book ‘Moominsummer
Madness’.
The beautifully illustrated series introduces Moominvalley, the loved stories, characters and values to new young readers. The books are created by established Swedish talents who have interpreted Tove Jansson's distinctive language and beloved imagery in this newly written story. The series returns to Tove Jansson's original storylines and art style in watercolour and ink. This growing picture book series now includes eleven books, some of which are also published as part of story collections.
