This book mainly follow the story of the
hobgoblin’s hat and the misadventures that moomin, his family and friends go through
. This book features so many interesting snippets that is quite different from the famous Moomin cartoon. They definitely changed the script for the cartoon. For instance, it was
snork and moomin who caught the ant-lion, not snufkin and mooomin
also they called the duplicate of the king’s ruby as
the queen’s ruby
which is something new that is not presented in the cartoon if I am not mistaken. Also, I absolutely love the parts where hemulen acted as a interpreter for thingumy and bob… him being the only one who understands and even went as far as to defend them is so cute, it melts my heart.

This is one of the early Moomin books and follows the family and friends over the summer months. The magic hat that shows up causes chaos and the book explains some of the snippets I remember from the few glimpses of the tv series I saw - namely the floating clouds... Great illustrations and fun stories.

”O, att vara ett nyvaket mumintroll och dansa i glasgröna vågor medan solen går upp!”
älskar mumin och Tove Janssons sätt att skriva på så jävla mycket!!!! Läste hela denna i ett svep och nu får jag fan ta tag i mumin igen

All I remember from this book and the other ‘moomin-‘ books was that I didn’t like them, they were similar to The Gammage Cup, I liked that book better, and I read it way more often.

Jest i Buka! Do tej pory najlepsza książka o Muminkach. Nadal czekam na Małą Mi, ale damn, Paszczak i jego znaczki, Topik i Topcia (Ryjek stara mysz, hahaha!), Czarnoksiężnik, uwielbiam!

Very cute and fun! Unassuming and I loved the character descriptions. Story unlike anything I’ve read which is a nice break from my normal reads.
