The Exploits of Moominpappa: Described By Himself
by Tove Jansson (Author)
Before he had a family, before he met Moominmamma, Moominpappa led a life of adventure and intrigue. But he's never told his story until now. Now Moominpappa has a bad cold, and it's the perfect time to remember his youthful endeavors and to ponder the experiences which have made him the remarkable Moomin he is.
One cold and windy autumn evening many years ago, a newspaper parcel was found on the doorstep of the Home for Moomin Foundlings. Inside the parcel lay poor shivering little Moominpappa (as he later became). . .
When spring came, Moominpappa decided to run away from the orphanage to see the world. So off he went, straight into the night, all alone and a little afraid. He met some very interesting people and one very special person – Moominmamma.
Please note: This translated edition has also been published under the title Moominpappa's Memoirs.
