Moominpappa had been feeling a little sad.  Moomintroll was growing up now, and it seemed everything there was to be done had already been done, or was being done by someone else.  The only thing to do was to make a fresh start.

Somewhere out at sea there was a tiny rocky island and a lighthouse, just waiting for him.  There he'd be important, able to explain things to his family again, able to boast a bit.

The island is a mysterious, eerie place.  Moominmamma's roses won't grow, the waves won't speak to Moominpappa, and there is an uneasy question at the back of their minds: where is the lighthouse-keeper?
