In that parcel I lay, quite small and shivering with cold.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo begins the remarkable \u003ci\u003eMemoirs of Moominpappa\u003c\/i\u003e, a book written to delight his dear son Moomintroll and friends. What follows is a story about storytelling itself. Moominpappa weaves one fabulous tale after another, writing at night to read aloud by day and featuring not only the fearless, adventurous author but also the fathers of Sniff and Snufkin - the rather muddled Muddler and the carefree Joxter. Add to this mix the genius inventor Hodgkins and a grand finale in which Moominpappa rescues a shipwrecked Moominmamma from the waves and the fun becomes irresistible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Memoirs of Moominpappa\u003c\/i\u003e, was first published in the UK in 1950 under the title \u003ci\u003eThe Exploits of Moominpapa\u003c\/i\u003e. In the early 1960s Tove Jansson substantially revised this text, redrawing pictures and reinstating her preferred title. \u003cb\u003eThis is the very first time the revised edition has become available in the UK. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom the publisher of \u003ci\u003eThe Invisible Child and The Fir Tree\u003c\/i\u003e (all proceeds to Oxfam) here's the Moomin gift editions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sort of Books","offers":[{"title":"GB - Hardback","offer_id":45291219157219,"sku":"DTRFFUK-9781908745675","price":111.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":49015530225891,"sku":"DTRMCUS-9781770468184","price":160.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/getimage_3851c0c8-6e5c-44e1-8595-60773ff08dec.jpg?v=1735333957","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh-mo\/products\/the-memoirs-of-moominpappa-9781908745675","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
