About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of Finn Family Moomintroll by Tove Jansson, read by Hugh Dennis.

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

Moomintroll is cheerful and chubby and lives in the magical Moominvalley with his mother, Moominmamma, his father, Moominpappa and all of their friends.

Throughout the winter the Moomins hibernate, but before they go to sleep they fill their tummies full of pineneedles.

In spring they wake up, ready for their fun-filled summer adventures. This is the story in which Moomintroll finds a big hat - a magical Hobgoblin hat, no less . . .

Reminded me of my childhood. Loved it as did my grandchildren. Will be purchasing more in the series. Hugh Dennis narrates very well.

As we enter lockdown 2 in England I wanted something comforting to listen to. I couldn’t think of anything better than my old friends the Moomins whose acquaintance I first made about 55 years ago. It’s wonderful how lovely and relaxing it is to meet them all again. I must get the books to give to my grandson for Christmas

Brilliantly read and just as I remember from childhood
