It debuted in the London Evening News in 1954 and has become the fastest-selling DQ series to date. Fifty years ago Tove Janssons observations of everyday lifewhimsical but with biting undertoneseasily caught the attention of an international audience and still resonate today.This third volume returns to Moominvalley where its beloved inhabitants get tangled up in five new stories. Moomin falls in love with a damsel in distress an unseasonably warm spell turns the valley into a tropical rain forest and a flying saucer crashes into Moominmammas garden. Moominpappa decides to live out his dream of occupying a lighthouse and writing a great seaside novel only to discover that he hates the sea so close up and has no interest in writing about it and a variety of curious clubs spring up in the valley. Moomin and Moominmamma do their level best to avoid the whole mess but of course get drawn into the muddle.
