Muumipappa ja meri (Finnish)

The first edition of Moominpappa at Sea written by Tove Jansson was published in 1965. Moominpappa’s dreams of becoming a hero take the Moomin family to an island with a lighthouse, but the adventure soon proves far more dangerous that anyone could have imagined. In the middle of the open sea is a small dot that Little My claims is just smudge left by a fly. But it is actually an island, a rugged small island with a lighthouse. That is where the Moomin family sail from their safe and secluded valley when Moominpappa gets tired of being a leisurely and purposeless father and dreams of becoming a brave leader instead. Hardback reprint. 210 pages, dimensions 19.5 x 13 cm. WSOY.
