Past a gently flowing stream, in the shadow of the Lonely Mountains there is a curious round, blue house, the Moominhouse, home to some of the best-loved characters in children’s literature.
Created by Swedish-speaking Finnish author and illustrator Tove Jansson, the Moomins have been enchanting readers around the world since the first Moomin story, Moomins and the Great Flood, appeared in 1945. Now her stories are amongst the best-loved in the world, celebrating themes of love, tolerance and equality mixed with a good dose of common sense.
Explore our range of Moomin books, games and gifts here and get lost in the wonderful world of the Moomins.
