In the run-up to Moomins eightieth anniversary (2025) the spotlight is on The Moomins and The Great Flood and the first glimpse it offers of Moomin Valley. Tove Jansson wrote this first ever Moomin story in 1945, in the wake of World War II, and although a children's tale, it vividly evokes the displacement of refugees throughout Europe at the time. A global Moomin.com campaign will celebrate the eighty years of the Moomins with the slogan 'the door is always open', emphasising Jansson's timely message of kindness and inclusiveness towards those forced to flee to safety. This new format edition includes an introduction by much loved author Frank Cottrell-Boyce and a full colour fold-out 'Moomin history' poster.

Co se stane, když se muminek v zimě jako jediný z rodiny probudí, a zažije tak všechna roční období ... Pokud jste fanoušky příběhů o dobrosrdečných skřítcích muminech, jistě vám neunikla jedna věc – všechny se odehrávají v létě. A kdy jindy, když mumini v zimě spí! V Čarovné zimě však autorka pracuje s nápadem, kdy se muminek jako jediný z rodiny v zimě probudí, a zažije tak všechna roční období. Musí si poradit s praktickými věcmi i se samotou, lépe řečeno odloučením od rodiny. Muminek rozhodně není sám, v zimě potká úplně nové přátele! Ale nakonec přichází jaro a s ním i návrat do muminího údolí. Interpret: Jan Vlasák

Audiobook Art in Nature, written by Tove Jansson. Immerse yourself in this riveting short story collection where art takes center stage - but not always for the better.

Follow a draughtsman whose obsession with locomotives derails his love life, and a cartoonist who risks his sanity to fill in for a troubled colleague.

Američtí vědci zjistili, že neexistuje osoba, která by se při čtení pohádek o skřítcích muminech (něžně nazývaných mumínci) nedojala a nerozzářila. No dobře, takový průzkum sice neexistuje… ale ukažte nám takového člověka! Dobrodružství muminka, jeho rodiny a přátel patří k pokladům dětské literatury už od čtyřicátých let 20. století, kdy ve Finsku vyšla kniha poprvé. Popularita muminů se opírá o tři pilíře: za prvé o spisovatelské umění autorky, která píše vtipně, stručně, u čtení se nenudí děti ani jejich rodiče, za druhé o originální zápletky příběhů, například v Bláznivém létě muminy nejprve sužuje zemětřesení, následně potopa a na konci ještě stihnou zahrát představení v plovoucím divadle, které režíruje muminkův tatínek… Třetí, ale nejdůležitější díl do geniálního koktejlu muminích příběhů je jejich něžná, laskavá atmosféra, díky níž si můžete byt jisti, že ať už mumini musí překonat jakákoli protivenství, čelí jim společně, s humorem a vždy se dostaví dobrý konec.
