In winter, the world becomes different - white, motionless, cold. There are snowdrifts and ice all around, and where apples used to grow, snow now grows. But Moomintroll is not supposed to know all this. Because from November to April, all decent Moomintrolls sleep and dream. But it so happened that this winter, Moomintroll woke up and couldn’t fall back asleep. At first, the winter world seemed alien to him, even somehow wrong. But Moomintroll saw snow, met Too-ticky, who settled in daddy’s bathhouse, met the Ice Lady, slid down a slide and even found himself in the heart of a snowstorm. And here’s the amazing thing: the winter world turned out to be no worse than the summer one. Moomintroll became the first Moomintroll to really live a whole year. At least for that, it was worth waking up in the middle of winter!
The book you are holding in your hands is a real event. For the first time in many years, the entire Moomin cycle has been re-translated into Russian! Those who are already familiar with the inhabitants of Moomin Valley will be curious to take a new look at their adventures. And those who are yet to have their first encounter with the fairy-tale world of Tove Jansson can only be envied!
