Moomin Classics Series

D&Q reintroduces Tove Jansson’s beloved Moomin chapter books to a whole new generation of readers in a deluxe hardcover format.

“They always slept from November to April, because such was the custom of their forefathers and Moomins stick to tradition.” That is, until Moomintroll accidentally wakes in the middle of the night and can’t get back to sleep. What awaits is a frighteningly unfamiliar world: dark, cold, and ultimately lonely. What’s Moomintroll to do? 

In Moominland Midwinter, Tove Jansson reveals Moominvalley as it’s never been seen before–not even by a Moomin! With his new friends Too-ticky, Sorry-oo, The Groke, and the utterly indomitable Little My, Moomintroll faces his fears and weathers the winter chill to become the first Moomin to live through an entire year. Jansson’s classic mid-century tale of friendship and finding your self-confidence is a timeless reminder that no matter how long the winter, spring always returns anew.

Fun and endearing, it’s easy to see why Moominvalley has an enduring appeal for readers both young and old.

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. Behold—a theater! Then Moomintroll and the Snork Maiden disappear, and the family realizes that the house may hold the answers to more than they ever dreamed. The beloved classic explores creativity, self-expression, and community, all delivered with Tove Jansson’s signature blend of humor and gentle wisdom.

Moominsummer Madness was first published in 1954 and is the fifth book in the beloved Moomin series, which follows the adventures of the serene and whimsical Moomin family and their friends. The novel also marks the only appearance of the character Misabel.

Relaunched in hardcover with extra material, gorgeous painted covers, a fold-out map and a reading ribbon, Moominsummer Madness will appeal to all current Moomin fans and is sure to find new ones.

D&Q’s deluxe hardcover series of the classic mid-century MOOMIN chapter books continues!

Before he had a family, even before he met Moominmamma, Moominpappa led a life of adventure and intrigue. But he’s never told his story ‘til now. Being under the weather with a bad cold, provides the perfect opportunity to remember his youthful endeavors and to ponder the experiences that have made him the remarkable Moomin that he is.

As he reads each chapter aloud to Moomintroll, Snufkin, and Sniff, they–and we–learn of his triumphs and tribulations: his arrival at Hemulin’s orphanage, his momentous meetings with the Joxter, the Muddler, and a cast of other characters too incredible (especially Edward the Booble) to list here.

The Memoirs of Moominpappa by Tove Jansson was originally released in Swedish in 1950 and has been published in over fifty languages. Often regarded as the most philosophical of the Moomin chapter books, it shares the introspective and imaginative qualities that have made the Moomins beloved for so many decades.
