When a flood sweeps through the valley, 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. Then Moomintroll and the Snork Maiden disappear, and the family realize that the house may hold the answers to more than they ever dreamed.

Tove Jansson was born and died in Helsinki, Finland. Jansson wrote and illustrated her first Moomin book, The Moomins and the Great Flood (1945), during World War II. She said later that the war had depressed her, and she had wanted to write something naive and innocent. Besides the Moomin novels and short stories, Tove Jansson also wrote and illustrated four original and highly popular picture books. Jansson's Moomin books have been translated into 33 languages.

Moomins want to see the world, so they are going for an adventure. Happy travels!

I've received the book a while ago, sorry for postponing the journal entry. Many thanks for the lovely book, I hope new readers in Scotland will find it quickly!

My husband and friends will be joining a Whisky Tour at the Isle of Islay on July 4-7, 2019. I will ask him to release this book at The Bowmore House premises - he gets to decide where.

I hope that whomever finds this book will enjoy the moomin characters that are a big part of Finnish literature. I also wish that a visitor of The Bowmore House will catch this book and get it going on new adventures! Welcome to bookcrossing!

I used to love these books as a child so was thrilled to be given ‘Moominsummer Madness’ by Tove Jansson. A delightful read, completely crazy with strange little characters and magical storytelling. I hope the next reader enjoys this as much as I did!
