In these nine stories we will meet a girl so ... so shy and fearful that she has become invisible. Also with a little dragon, the last one in the world and who loves to eat flies. With a lone hemul who works in an amusement park that will be destroyed by a flood. With a little homsa who likes to make up stories and tell lies ... And, of course, there will also be Dad and Mom Mumin, the Mumintroll, his great friend Snusmumrik, Miss Snork and the mischievous and funny Little My, who show us that it is possible, in the company of friends, to overcome our fears and achieve our desires.
