Before he had a family — even before he met Moominmamma — Moominpappa led a life of adventure and intrigue. Now, laid up with a bad cold, he finally tells his story.

As he reads each chapter aloud to Moomintroll, Snufkin, and Sniff, they — and we — discover his triumphs and tribulations: his arrival at Hemulin's orphanage, his momentous meetings with the Joxter, the Muddler, and a cast of unforgettable characters, including the incredible Edward the Booble.

Originally published in Swedish in 1950 and now available in over fifty languages, The Memoirs of Moominpappa is often regarded as the most philosophical of the Moomin chapter books — rich with the introspective and imaginative qualities that have made the Moomins beloved for generations.
