Soon to be MOOMINVALLEY,a MAJOR ANIMATED SERIES on SKY ONE starring Taron Egerton and Rosamund Pike!It all began with a hot day in June,and a volcano dropping black ash on Moominmamma's washing.
Then a crack appeared in the ground,and Moomintroll's toothbrush slipped straight down into the dark and yawning earth.
Then a great flood wave came crashing through Moomin Valley.
And that was why the Moomins found themselves a new home,and why they all had so many strange adventures,ones that were odd even by Moomin standards. . .
