(Swedish: Farlig midsommar Literally: Dangerous Midsummer) is the sixth in the series of Tove Jansson's Moomin books and the fifth novel, published in 1954. The story follows the Moomin family as they find themselves living in a deserted theater after a flood.
Moominsummer Madness was inspired by Tove Jansson's work with theater, it is dedicated to Vivica, which most likely refers to her ex Vivica Bandler, who directed the two original Moomin stage plays and the 1969 television series.
A nearby volcano causes a massive wave to flood Moominvalley. While escaping the flood the Moomin family and their friends find a building floating past, and take up residence there. They believe it is a deserted house until they realise someone else lives there, Emma, who explains that it is not a house but a theatre. The moomins start to understand about the scenery, props, and costumes they have found. The theatre drifts aground and Moomintroll and the Snork Maiden decide to go and sleep in a tree.
When they wake next morning the theatre has floated away again and they are alone. Meanwhile Little My accidentally falls overboard, and by some strange coincidence is rescued by Moomintroll's adventurous friend Snufkin who is setting off to seek revenge on a grumpy Park Keeper. He tears down all the 'Do not walk on the grass' notices, fills the lawns with electric Hattifatteners and sets free twenty-four small woodies who immediately adopt him as their father.
Moominsummer Madness has been adapted to television four times.
