Christmas comes to Moominvalley / Alex Haridi, Cecilia Davidsson, Tove Jansson ; illustrated by Filippa Widlund.

Translated from the Swedish.

A beautiful picture book to treasure, lavishly embossed and foiled, Christmas Comes to Moominvalley is the perfect gift for Moomin fans of all ages.An exquisitely illustrated re-telling of Tove Jansson's classic story The Fir Tree, in which the Moomins are woken up from their winter sleep and told that 'Christmas' is coming. The only trouble is, the Moomins have no idea who, or what Christmas is.Simple and sensitively adapted text, paired with detailed illustrations based on the original drawings and colour plates, perfectly capture Tove Jansson's perceptive and original voice. Christmas Comes to Moominvalley introduces a new generation of readers to the loveable Moomin cast and their special values of tolerance, kindness and integrity, as they discover the true meaning of Christmas.
