Come into Moominland

Bring your children along to experience the world of Moomintroll, the Snork Maiden and Snufkin as conceived by Tove Jansson, a Finnish multi-talented author, illustrator and sculptor.

Since 1945 in Swedish, and 1950 in English, the Moomins have captivated generations of children. They have featured in storybooks, picture books, comic strips, animated cartoons and iPad apps.

The children’s librarians will guide your children into the idyllic Moominvalley to share the adventures of the Moomin family and their friends.

Bookings open Wednesday 25 June.

Part of Melbourne Rare Book Week.
