Moomin storytime: Listen to the The Fir Tree

Tove Jansson’s niece Sophia Jansson reads the iconic Moomin Christmas story The Fir Tree from Tales from Moominvalley, originally published in 1962. The video is complete with Tove Jansson’s original illustrations.
In this short story, the Moomins are suddenly woken up from winter hibernation by stressed neighbours, trying to get ready for Christmas. But who or what is Christmas, and why does everyone seem so flustered?
Tove Jansson’s The Fir Tree is a funny, satirical and warm story - perfect for setting the Christmas mood and for contemplating its true meaning.
