Moomintroll meets a winter he has never known

When Moomintroll wakes ahead of the rest of his family, the familiar Moominvalley has been transformed by snow and darkness. His visit to favorite summer places becomes a search to understand Winter, a season no Moomin has encountered before. That shift—from the family’s usual winter sleep to Moomintroll’s solitary exploration—gives the story its central contrast: remembered summer haunts set against an unfamiliar landscape. Black-and-white illustrations accompany Tove Jansson’s fantasy novel, part of the Moomin series.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in fantasy and imaginative settings.
  • Moomin fans curious about a story centered on Moomintroll.
  • Readers who enjoy illustrated novels about exploring an unfamiliar environment.
