Tove Jansson è stata un'artista e autrice che ha creato mondi paragonabili alle belle arti. La sua produzione letteraria, originariamente scritta in svedese, riflette la sua posizione unica all'interno della minoría svedese-finlandese. Spinta dal desiderio di innocenza durante la cupezza della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, Jansson scrisse per la prima volta le amate storie dei Moomin, che illustrò anche. Oltre all'estesa serie dei Moomin, produsse un quartetto di libri illustrati originali e accattivanti, ottenendo un plauso globale per le sue creazioni fantasiose.
Nella Valle dei Mumin si intrecciano vicende sempre più sottili, sotto la cappa del nuvoloso cielo nordico, fino al cupo grande mare selvaggio, alle isole nere, all'orizzonte che segna la fine del mondo. Papà Mumin sparisce, la tranquilla vita familiare è diventata per lui troppo pesante. Mamma Mumin non se ne preoccupa: hanno deciso di concedersi l'un l'altro tutta la libertà di cui hanno bisogno...

Soon to be MOOMINVALLEY, a MAJOR ANIMATED SERIES on SKY ONE starring Taron Egerton and Rosamund Pike! 'This is snow,' Moomintroll whispered to himself. Moomins always sleep through the winter - or they did until the year Moomintroll woke up and found he couldn't go back to sleep again. All the clocks had stopped, there was nothing to eat and no one to talk to at home, so he went out - straight into the first snowdrift he had ever seen. The valley wasn't green any more, it was white and silent and very scary. But then Moomintroll spied some tracks in the snow and decided to follow them. Maybe he wasn't the only one awake in Moominvalley after all?
