The Invisible Child and The Fir Tree

En savoir plus sur le livre

In Tove Jansson’s much loved short story, The Invisible Child, the isolated Ninny is helped to regain her voice and take her rightful place in the world using a simple Moomin recipe. She is welcomed into the Moomin family and treated with equality and respect. This is one of the most touching of all Moomin stories and is paired in this unique book with The Fir Tree, the Moomins’ gloriously unselfish take on Christmas. Alongside these two classic stories, this gift edition also includes an exclusive Moomin Gallery, featuring the characters of Moominvalley, compiled by Philip Ardagh. Both stories are taken from the short story collection Tales from Moominvalley (The Moomins, #7) which was first published in Swedish as Det osynliga barnet (Mumintrollen, #7) in 1962.
