Nature is once again unfriendly to the Moomins - this time it's a volcano. Nevermind, they can handle it. Snufkin becomes a daddy (for a while), Moomintroll goes to jail, Little My gets lost in the sea, but in the end everything is OK. We get introduced to Little My and to the fillyjonks. The hemulens (the good and bad kinds) also play an important part in this story.
Quotes:
It was quite a long time before he found the bark schooner. The back stay had gotten entangled in a bush, but it was undamaged. Even the little hatch was in its place over the hold.
Moomintroll walked back through the garden to the house. The evening air was cool and mild, and the dewy flowers had a richer fragrance than ever before.
His mother was sitting on the steps. She was waiting for him.
She was holding something in her paws and smiling.
"Know what I've got?" She asked.
"The dinghy!" Said Moomintroll, and burst out laughing. Not because anything was especially funny, but just because he felt so happy.
