If you found a tiny golden dragon with green paws, would you know what to do with it? Well, Moomintroll thinks he knows what to do.

Media Reviews
I have long been a passionate Moomin appreciator - it's not just Tove Jansson's wonderfully strange fairytale world that so appeals but also her beautiful line work and exquisite sense of design -- Lauren Child
