The Exploits of Moominpappa by Tove Jansson

Description

“I decided to run away. There simply wasn’t anything else to do.”

Here at last is Moominpappa’s promised life story — from the days when he was abandoned in a newspaper parcel on the doorstep of a Moomin orphanage, to when he ran away to see the world and was lucky enough to meet Moominmamma.

The Exploits of Moominpappa was first published in 1950 and then considerably revised in 1968 under the title Moominpappa’s Memoirs. It is the fourth book in the Moomin series by Tove Jansson.

This is a second edition hardcover, printed in 1966. As you can see in the photos, the sleeve has some wear, but the book itself is in very good condition. An absolutely lovely edition to a Moomin collection!
