Moominsummer Madness by Tove JanssonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
"A theatre is the most important sort of house in the world, because that's where people are shown what they could be if they wanted, and what they'd like to be if they dared to and what they really are."
At more than 150 pages, this book is long enough to be considered a novella for children. But for adults, it is a charming short read, best enjoyed after a long tiring day at work, feet propped up and tea cup at hand.
A volcano erupts, and Moomin Valley is swept by a tidal wave! Our beloved Moomins are forced to abandon their home to live in a floating theatre, and it's so much fun to read of them writing and acting in their own play!
The adult in me recognizes the seriousness of many situations in the book, but I'm so amazed at how happy the Moomins are in the midst of every disaster!
"Hadn't they been mixed up before in stranger events than any other family they knew of, and hadn't everything turned out for the best every time?“
Always charming and lovable... it is always a treat to spend time with the Moomins. ♥ 😍
