Perfect for readers of all ages, join the beloved, world-famous characters of Moominvalley on an unforgettable adventure in Moominsummer Madness ―includes black-and-white illustrations throughout. “Genius.” ―Philip Pullman “Clever, gentle, witty, and completely engrossing.” ―Jeff Smith, author of Bone When a flood sweeps through Moominvalley, the Moomins must find a new house. And with typical Moomin good luck, one just happens to be floating by. It looks normal enough, but there are curtains where one wall should be, strange rows of lights, and other odd amenities. Then Moomintroll and the Snork Maiden disappear, and the family realize that the house may hold the answers to more than they ever dreamed. In the 80 years since the first Moomin novel appeared, Tove Jansson’s timeless stories have continued to captivate audiences across the globe with their adventure, humor, and endless wisdom. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a first-time visitor to Moominvalley, these classic books are a must-have for anyone who wishes the world was a bit more magical. The original Moomin novels by Tove Jansson: ● Comet in Moominland ● Finn Family Moomintroll ● Moominpappa’s Memoirs ● Moominsummer Madness ● Moominland Midwinter ● Tales from Moominvalley ● Moominpappa at Sea ● Moominvalley in November Books for the littlest Moomin fans, up to 3 years old: ● Moomin’s Lift the Flap Hide and Seek: with Big Flaps for Little Hands ● Moomin’s Little Book of Numbers ● Moomin’s Little Book of Words Review: A Magical, Marvelous Midsummer Night's Madness with perhaps a bit of a dream or two in't - As endearing, imaginative, quirky, wise and rich in incident & character as "A Midsummer Night's Dream," this story of the great tsumani/tidal wave at Moomin Valley & what the Moomins discovered blends with a second theme: what Snuffkin's settling a deep & bitter score with the Park Keeper brought in the way of 24 small woodies who call Snufkin (Snufkin, of all people!), "Pappa.' The drawings are splendidly suited to the text and vice versa. Never a wave so tidal, never a stage so full of high drama, and never Snufkin, Little My, the Filljonk and more brought more fully alive! This book was born to be read aloud, acted out, and literally, to be ROF & LOL at the humor, the wisdom, and the amazing what-happens-next in the perplexities. It truly IS a Midsummer's Even madness, comedic, and the Moomins at their happiest. First off, cinders spot Moominmamma's fresh laundry, thanks to a far-away volcanic eruption. The eruption is soon followed by a tidal wave, swift and strong that drives all the family first on to their roof, then into a theater floating by. There in one of the funniest send-ups of The Theatre & iambic pentameter, the Moomins and their newest acquaintances---Emma the theatre rat, Whomper, and Misabel---enact a drama involving a lion. Meanwhile, Snufkin pursuig a lifelong determination to put the demogagic, mean mean mean Park Keeper out of business, encounters Little My whose sister, the Mymble's Daughter, acutely says, "Little My can take care of herself. I'm worried about the people whose paths she crosses." Together, they pursue their revenge which involves---as noted---the acquisition of wandering, independent, unattached Snufkin by 24 adorable young woodies. Snufkin as an anxious pappa is a revealation & tender delight. But wait, meanwhile, in the third strand, Moomintroll and the Snork Maiden who have been swept away in the flood encounter a depressed Fillyjonk, bringing their transformative love into creating a great Midsummer Night's bonfire than gets them into the clutches of a Hemulic jailkeeper! And, and, and-----this just BEGINS the story! The tale so far is not a spoiler. A joy for children of all ages, Jansson at her (and our) happiest and best! Yes, there are shadows yet while being terrified, miserable, anxious CAN be a feeling, it does NOT define one's life or one's own feelings with a little help from our friends. Review: Masterpiece - Very nice edition, hard cover, published in UK, it has a folded map of Moomin valley in the beginning. The book is slightly smaller, but the font is perfect. Not to say, one of Tove Jansson's best creations, profound and genius writing, beautiful illustrations, it's a pure piece of joy. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #142,475 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,599 in Children's Classics #2,356 in Fantasy for Children #3,722 in Children's Action & Adventure Books (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 600 Reviews | ## Images ![Moominsummer Madness (Moomins, 4) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71mEnM0UgEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Magical, Marvelous Midsummer Night's Madness with perhaps a bit of a dream or two in't *by O***L on August 5, 2016* As endearing, imaginative, quirky, wise and rich in incident & character as "A Midsummer Night's Dream," this story of the great tsumani/tidal wave at Moomin Valley & what the Moomins discovered blends with a second theme: what Snuffkin's settling a deep & bitter score with the Park Keeper brought in the way of 24 small woodies who call Snufkin (Snufkin, of all people!), "Pappa.'

The book is slightly smaller, but the font is perfect. Not to say, one of Tove Jansson's best creations, profound and genius writing, beautiful illustrations, it's a pure piece of joy. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Moomintroll books are back!! *by A***R on January 19, 2025* These are the same Moomin books, with beautiful artwork on the sleeve and inside covers! Some of them even have a little fold out Maps in the beginning, showing the area in the story. Note: the text and page numbers don’t EXACTLY match up to the old series, but that’s a very small issue. I am so EXCITED to have these new hardcover movement books, they are smaller size and very durable. I love them! The paperbacks aren’t bad either, just not as durable and not as much pretty artwork. But they are also a good cheaper option. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2223214-moominsummer-madness-moomins-4](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/2223214-moominsummer-madness-moomins-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
