About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Moominsummer Madness by Tove Jansson, read by Hugh Dennis.

If you haven't met a Moomin yet, you're in for the most magical fun!

It all began with a hot day in June, and a volcano dropping black ash on Moominmamma's washing. Then a crack appeared in the ground, and Moomintroll's toothbrush slipped straight down into the dark and yawning earth.

Then a great flood wave came crashing through Moomin Valley. And that was why the Moomins found themselves a new home, and why they all had so many strange adventures, ones that were odd even by Moomin standards. . .

I loved this story and will listen to it many times. Clever, funny and captivating. Brilliant writing by the author and the narration by Hugh Dennis is equally as impressive. I have grown to love each character of the Moomin stories and their accents are now quite familiar to me. Favourite character has to be Little My....insane and hilarious. A welcome escape into a world of beautifully imagined landscapes, family and friendships.
