In the Books
Daddy Jones only appears in Moominpappa's Memoirs in which he rules over an island kingdom full of beasts, Mymbles, Hemulen, and more. He held a garden party to celebrate his 100th birthday, but the way was a long and winding obstacle course. He held a lottery in which Moominpappa, Hodgkins, The Joxter, The Muddler and the Mymble's daughter all got a row of prizes. He made Hodgkins his court inventor and announced the reveal of the Amphibian, a new version of the Oshun Oxtra, and has currently still got the Nibling's prize. In the end, he was playing on the swings.
