The Lighthouse Keeper
The Lighthouse keeper lives alone on the island where the Moomins decide to settle down. He is terrified of the lighthouse and keeps to himself. He does not want to interfere with the Moomin family, who believe that the lighthouse keeper is a lonely fisherman. Little My suspects that he eats seagrass and according to Moominpappa, the lighthouse keeper is like a shadow. As if he had never been born. When the Moomin family learns that it is the lighthouse keeper’s birthday, they invite him to a party in the lighthouse. During the party, the family finds out who he really is and in the safe environment he feels comfortable taking on the responsibility of being a lighthouse keeper again.
