But it s much harder to get rich than either of them expects, whether it s through selling rare creatures to the zoo, using a fortune-teller to find treasures, or making modern art. Through a stroke of luck, however, Moomin meets the love of his life, Snorkmaiden, and with her help he finds the self-confidence he needs to get his house back.

A surrealist masterpiece. Honest." -NeilGaiman, author of Sandman, American Godsand Fragile Things"Moomin is gorgeous, and isflat out the best Moomin book I've ever seen.
