Comet in Moominland

Synopsis

When Moomintroll learns that a comet is heading towards Moominvalley, he and his friend Sniff set off for the Observatory in the Lonely Mountains to find out what is happening. Along the way they encounter Snufkin, the Hemulen, and a series of strange and unexpected adventures, while back home the Moomin family prepares for the possibility of disaster.

Tove Jansson's beloved classic combines a wonderfully strange adventure with a deeper meditation on uncertainty, courage, friendship, and the possibility of change. This deluxe hardcover edition from Drawn & Quarterly includes Jansson's illustrations, a fold-out map, extra material, and a reading ribbon.
