JANSSON TOVE

ΚΑΛΟΚΑΙΡΙΝΗ ΜΠΟΡΑ
Όταν η Κοιλάδα πλημμυρίζει και το σπίτι τους βρίσκεται κάτω από το νερό, η οικογένεια Μούμιν αναγκάζεται να βρει... άλλο σπίτι. Κι ευτυχώς: εκεί που είναι σκαρφαλωμένοι στη σκεπή τους για να σωθούν, ένα πελώριο σπίτι περνάει πλέοντας από δίπλα τους. Ένα σπίτι περίεργο, γεμάτο παράξενα πράγματα και αλλόκοτους θορύβους και μυστήρια δωμάτια. Οι Μούμιν, όμως, θα ταξιδέψουν μ' αυτό - κι όχι μόνο πάνω στο νερό. Όταν το καινούργιο σπίτι σταματά στην ακτή, ο Μούμιν και η δεσποινίς Σνόρκιν αποφασίζουν να περάσουν μια νύχτα στη στεριά. Μα, ξυπνώντας...

ΤΟ ΚΑΠΕΛΟ ΤΟΥ ΜΑΓΟΥ ΜΟΥΜΕΡΛΙΝ
Η άνοιξη φτάνει στην Κοιλάδα των Μούμιν και μαζί της φέρνει και το μαγικό καπέλο του Μεγάλου και Τρανού Μουμέρλιν. Το βρίσκουν ο Μούμιν και οι φίλοι του, ο Σνούφκιν και ο Σνίφιν, στην κορυφή του λόφου και το παίρνουν σπίτι. Μα, όταν το χρησιμοποιούν ως καλάθι αχρήστων, διαπιστώνουν πως τα σκουπιδάκια που ρίχνουν μέσα του μεταμορφώνονται σε μικρά μαλακά συννεφάκια, που μπορούν να τα καβαλικέψουν και να πετάξουν! Μα δεν αργούν να καταλάβουν πως ό,τι (και όποιος) μπαίνει μέσα στο καπέλο του Μάγου αλλάζει μορφή! Κι όταν ο Μούμιν φοράει το καπ...

ΘΑΛΑΣΣΙΝΟ ΤΑΞΙΔΙ
Είναι δυνατόν; Μπορούν ποτέ τα Μούμιν να εγκαταλείψουν την Κοιλάδα τους; Το σπίτι τους το αγαπημένο; Και όμως: ακόμα και μια οικογένεια σαν αυτή χρειάζεται κάποια στιγμή την αλλαγή του ταξιδιού. Όλοι μαζί, λοιπόν, φεύγουν και πηγαίνουν να ζήσουν σ' ένα μικρό νησάκι στη μέση της θάλασσας. Σ' ένα νησί όπου δεν υπάρχει τίποτα, παρά μόνο ένας φάρος. Στο καινούριο τους σπίτι θα δυσκολευτούν, θα βολευτούν, θα κάνουν πράγματα που δεν μπορούσαν και δεν τολμούσαν να κάνουν στην Κοιλάδα. Εξερευνώντας κι ανακαλύπτοντας το καινούριο της σπίτι, η οικο...

(P/B) FAIR PLAY
'So what can happen when Tove Jansson turns her attention to her own favourite subjects, love and work, in the form of this novel about two women, lifelong partners and friends?
