Meet The Moomins
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. Here you’ll meet the Moomin family: adventurous philosopher Moominpappa, wise and thoughtful matriarch Moominmamma, lovable, friendly Moomintroll as well as the smallest (and fiercest) member of the Moomin household, adopted daughter Little My and a host of friends and visitors who make up the wonderful world of the Moomins.
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.
