Publisher's Summary

If you haven't met a Moomin yet, you're in for the most magical fun! The unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Tove Jansson's endearing classic, Moominvalley in November, read with warmth (and some lively character voices) by the comedian Hugh Dennis. 'They can't have moved away without saying a word!' Winter is coming, and the Fillyjonk, the Hemulen, Toft, Mymble, etc. are all waiting in Moominvalley to see the Moomins return home. Winter doesn't seem right without them…

What the critics say

"Beautiful words...Tove Jansson is a genius... - Jenny Downham, author of Before I Die." (Books for Keeps)
"They seem to grow in wisdom and delight every time I read them." (Philip Pullman)
“The adventures of the easygoing Moomintrolls have all the crispness and tart surprise of a lingonberry, thanks to Jansson’s ineffably light touch, her uncanny sensitivity to universal childhood emotions, and her gift for terse, naturalistic dialogue.” (Entertainment Weekly)

A Favourite, Beautifully Rendered

Moominvalley in November is one of the most important books I ever read as a child. It expanded my idea of what books could be like, and I'm not sure I've ever found one quite like it since. Hugh Dennis' performance is delightful; his array of UK regional accents all suit the characters well, even when they're not quite how I imagined them. Essential children's literature.
