Moominland Midwinter (Swedish title Trollvinter) is the fifth in the series of Tove Jansson's Moomins books, published in 1957. This book sees Jansson adopt a darker, more introspective tone compared to the earlier books that is continued in the remainder of the series. Often in the book Moomintroll is either lonely, miserable, angry or scared - the result of being forced to survive in a world to which he feels he does not belong. While preserving the charm of the previous novels, the story involves a more in-depth exploration of Moomintroll's character than before. Moominland Midwinter forms the adapted of episodes 22, 23 and 37 in the 1990 TV series. The book forms the premise of the 2017 feature film Moomins and the Winter Wonderland, which features many characters and plot points from the book.
