This week we're reading the first half of Finn Family Moomintroll. Spring has sprung and the children have discovered a very interesting hat on top of a hill. The hat starts to transform everything that sits inside it, from eggshells, to outlandish words, to Moomintroll himself. Moominmamma is in the mood for a change of scene and leads an expedition to the Hattifatteners' lonely island. Snufkin catches sight of a terrific villain in the heart of a storm.
Our theme for this book is ALCHEMY, and we're looking at transformations and all things golden. Also, colonialist fantasies, various masculinities and the first edition of Nina's Botany Corner.
Our question this week pertains to Dave's nonmonogamous emotional life (!) so you'll definitely want to tune in for that.
Our Spirits of the Moomins are Bluey and Knock Three Times by Cressida Cowell.
Our Spirit of the Podgoblin's Hat is Black Men Can't Jump [In Hollywood].
