The Moomins picnic with their ancestors, a pair of pirates, and, best of all, Mymble
Another classic Moomin story reworked in full color, with a kid-proof but kid-friendly size, price, and format.
After a disastrous helicopter ride through a thunderstorm, the entire Moomin family is stranded on a desert island―the very island their ancestors came from! They make the best of it, hunting for their supper, exploring mysterious tunnels, and salvaging items from a wrecked pirate ship (including the Mymble!), but their ancestors don't let them live in peace and quiet for too long. Soon the whole island will have to deal with the explosive consequences of their ancestors' misbehavior.
Tove Jansson's flawless cartooning is brought to life in a whole new way within these pages. A delight for the whole family!

About the Author:
Tove Jansson (1914–2001) is revered around the world as one of the foremost children's authors of the twentieth century for her illustrated chapter books about the magical world of her creation, the Moomins. The Moomins saw life in many forms but debuted to the biggest audience ever on the pages of the world's largest newspaper, the London Evening News, in 1954. Jansson was also a visual artist and the author of numerous books.
Review:
“Here is where Jansson's weird but true world begins; where fear, loneliness and insecurity are banished by love and the force of imagination.” ―Time
“[Jansson's] work soars with lightness and speed, and her drawings only echo her writing: delicate but precise, observant yet suggestive . . . Jansson was exceptional, an exuberant explorer of emotional independence and interdependence, a liberating force.” ―Los Angeles Times Book Review
“A lost treasure now rediscovered--one of the sweetest, strangest comics strips ever drawn or written. A surrealist masterpiece. Honest.” ―Neil Gaiman, author of Sandman, American Gods and Fragile Things
“Moomin is gorgeous, and is flat out the best Moomin book I've ever seen. Tove Jansson was a natural cartoonist. These strips are clever, gentle, witty, and completely engrossing.” ―Jeff Smith, cartoonist of Bone
