Description
Muumi (The Moomin) is a much-loved fairytale character known around the world, created back in the 1930s by Finnish-Swedish author and artist Tove Jansson. Niiskuneiti (The Snork Maiden) made her first appearance in Tove Jansson’s second published book, Muumipeikko ja pyrstötähti (Comet in Moominland), in 1946.
The Moomin books have been translated into more than 50 languages. Over the years, the Moomins have grown far beyond the pages of books and comic strips, inspiring animated series, films, theme parks, figurines and a wide range of merchandise, including tableware and interactive book apps. They have also featured in numerous theatre productions, an opera and even their own museum.
