Moominvalley in November di Tove Jansson fu pubblicato originariamente in svedese nel 1970. Il libro porta il lettore in un viaggio nella buia e piovosa Valle dei Mumin, dove un gruppo solitario di piccole creature sta attendendo il ritorno dei Mumin. L'ultimo romanzo sui Mumin di Tove Jansson è stato pubblicato in oltre 50 lingue diverse. Questa edizione speciale di Sort Of Books è stata pubblicata secondo il design originale.
The Moomins, in case you haven’t already met them, are kind, philosophical creatures with velvety fur and smooth round snouts, who live in a beautiful Finnish valley. They sleep through the winter and when spring comes they wake and clamber down rope ladders hanging from their windows, ready for a bright new adventure.
But in Moominvalley in November, the Moomins are missing. They have left their beloved Moominvalley – for the mysterious lighthouse island of Moominpappa at Sea – and no one has seen them since. As winter draws near, Snufkin, Mymble, Toft and others move into the Moominhouse to await the family’s return and soon find themselves absorbed in exploits of their own. Only little Toft lingers on. The gentle creature has seen a flicker of light on the horizon. Could this be the Moomins sailing back?
