Tove Jansson - Finn Family Moomintrollby Tove Jansson -
Hugh Laurie reads Tove Jansson's wonderfully imaginative story "Finn Family". Moomintroll Moomintroll lives in Moominhouse, nestled in Moomin Valley - a place where everyone does what they like and hardly ever worries about tomorrow. Together with Moominmamma and Moominpappa, Snufkin, Sniff and the others, Moomintroll has some marvellous adventures! When they find a tall black hat on top of a mountain, the Moomins don't realise that it will make some very strange things happen to them.
The possibilities are endless. Just be careful what you wish for... The Western Front, 1916. Private Percy Blakeney wakes up. He is lying on fresh spring grass. He can hear birdsong and the wind in the leaves. Where have the mud, blood, and blasted landscape of no-man's-land gone? For that matter, where has Percy gone? Madison, Wisconsin, 2015. Police officer Monica Jansson is exploring the burned-out home of a reclusive - some say mad, others allege dangerous - scientist who seems to have vanished.
