Publisher's Summary

If you haven't met a Moomin yet, you're in for the most magical fun! The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Tove Jansson's endearing classic, Moominland Midwinter, read with warmth (and some lively character voices) by the comedian Hugh Dennis. 'This is snow,' Moomintroll whispered to himself. Moomins always sleep through the winter - or they did until the year Moomintroll woke up and went exploring in the silent, snow-covered valley where the river used to scuttle along and all his friends were so busy in summer.

“A lost treasure now rediscovered . . . A surrealist masterpiece.” (Neil Gaiman)

fun and wacky

My children and I have got to adore the slightly wacky stories and characters which Tove Jansson has created.
The more we listen to them, the more we love them.
Very sweet.
