Tove Jansson is among the world's best-known and most loved authors. Na Mumain agus an Tuil Mhor (English title: The Moomins and The Great Flood) is the first translation into Scottish Gaelic of any of Jansson's classic children's books. This 80th anniversary quarter-bound edition, complete with fold-out insert of the design of Moominhouse, is the latest edition to join the global publishing celebration of the book's first appearance in1948. Jansson's first-ever Moomin story, introduces readers to the beloved characters who have become icons of children's literature, offering a glimpse of Moominvalley and the iconic Moominhouse. The world of the Moomins unfolds as we follow Moomintroll, Moominmamma, and Sniff on their search through forest and flood for long-lost Moominpappa, and a place to call home. The story reveals Jansson's uninhibited imagination full of love, kindness, and adventure in the face of environmental catastrophe. Jansson's Moomin books have never been out of print and their themes of tolerance, inclusion, and environmental stewardship remain increasingly relevant today. Selkies House will publish Na Mumain agus Ad An Draoidh (English title: Finn Family Moomintroll) in the same season.
