In winter, the world becomes different - white, motionless, cold. There are snowdrifts and ice all around, and where apples grew, snow now grows. But Moomintroll is not supposed to know all this. Because from November to April all decent Moomins sleep and dream. But it just so happened that this winter Moomintroll woke up and could not go back to sleep. At first, the winter world seemed alien to him and even somehow wrong. But Moomintroll saw snow, met Tuu-tikki, who settled in her father’s bathhouse, met the Ice Lady, rode down a slide and even visited the very heart of a snowstorm. And here’s what’s surprising: the winter world turned out to be no worse than the summer one. Moomintroll became the first Moomintroll to truly live for a whole year. At least for this it was worth waking up in the middle of winter!

The book you are holding in your hands is a real event. For the first time in many years, the entire series about the Moomins has been re-translated into Russian! Those who are already familiar with the inhabitants of Moominvalley will be curious to take a fresh look at their adventures. And those who are about to meet the fairy-tale world of Tove Jansson for the first time can only be envied in a good way!
