A little girl is transported with the help of magic glasses from the tedium of a summer afternoon into an exciting world of mangrove swamps spluttering volcanoes & sea where birds fly upside down & wild things threaten to pounce. But she is not alone. Old friends from Moomin Valley
- Hemulen Sniff Snufkin Thingummy & Bob
- have joined her in her journey & Moomin too who rides to their rescue in a stripey balloon. This brand new version of a lost classic pairs Janssons irresistible artwork with a playful rhyming text by one of Britains star poets.
