Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Leave Moominvalley? Is it possible? Yes, even the Moomin family need a change of scenery sometimes, so they're off to live in a lighthouse on a tiny island. Here they find space to grow, and to do things they couldn't in their comfortable, cluttered valley home. As they discover their new home, the family also discover surprising, and wonderfully funny, new things about themselves.
"Published in Finland as Pappan och Havet"--T.p. verso.
Originally published: Great Britain : Ernest Benn Limited, 1966.
The family in the crystal ball -- The lighthouse -- The West wind -- The Northeaster -- The fog -- The waning moon -- The Southwest wind -- The lighthouse-keeper.
Feeling his family's life is too safe and fixed, Moominpappa moves them to a lighthouse on an island to lead a life full of troubles, and indeed they find many mysteries in that lonely place.
Translated from the Swedish.
