This book is essential reading for any lover of the Moomins. This is where it all began. Created in 1945, yet published in this country for the very first time, "The Moomins and the Great Flood" offers an extraordinary glimpse into the creativity and imagination that launched the Moomin books. Moominmamma and young Moomintroll search for the long lost Moominpappa through forest and flood, meeting a little creature (an early Sniff) and the elegantly strange Tulippa along the way. Tove Jansson illustrates her first ever Moomin adventure with stunning sepia watercolour and delightful pen and ink drawings. It is a revelation for Moomin fans.

I loves me some Moomins!This is the original story, coming in 1945 before the comic strip or the first of the famous novels, Comet in Moominland. It has none of the satire of either of the former but it does have the same bizarre, delightful, magical world of strange creatures and peculiar adventure...
Oj, pamiętam, że ciężko mi się czytało tę książeczkę, nawet będąc fanką Muminków. Zwyczajnie nudne! Może to tylko "uroki" początków cyklu, ale mnie ten tomik zraził do sięgnięcia po pozostałe, niestety.
Jak już dorosnę, to znowu przeczytam cały cykl.
