“Somebody who eats pancakes and jam can’t be so awfully dangerous.”

Finn Family Moomintroll
Tove Jansson

In Finn Family Moomintroll the discovery of the Hobgoblin’s hat leads to the most extraordinary magic and mayhem. Coupled with the arrival of Thingumy and Bob and their mysterious suitcase, the Moomins have never experienced anything quite like this before.

Initially published as Trollkarlens hatt (The Hobgoblin’s Hat), the title was changed when it was chosen by the UK publisher Ernest Benn to introduce the series.
