‘They seem to grow in wisdom and delight every time I read them.’
- Philip Pullman
In the enchanting Moominvalley, cheerful and chubby Moomintroll lives with his kind-hearted Moominmamma, adventurous Moominpappa, and their delightful friends. As winter arrives, the Moomins prepare for hibernation, feasting on pine needles before drifting into a deep sleep. When spring awakens them, the valley is ripe for new adventures. This particular season, Moomintroll stumbles upon a magical Hobgoblin's Hat, setting off a series of whimsical and surprising escapades. Join Moomintroll and his companions as they navigate the enchanting transformations and unexpected fun that the hat brings to their magical world.
