Moomin
Description
The Moomins or Moomintrolls (Swedish: Mumintrollen, pronounced [ˈmʉːmɪnˌtrɔlːɛn]) are the central characters in a series of novels, short stories, picture books, and a comic strip by the Finnish writer and illustrator Tove Jansson, originally published in Swedish by the Finnish publisher Schildts. They are a family of white, round fairy-tale characters with large snouts that make them resemble the hippopotamus. However, despite this resemblance, the Moomin family are trolls who live in a house in Moominvalley. Between 1945 and 1993, Jansson wrote a series of nine books, and created five picture books and a long-running comic strip. The Moomins have inspired numerous television series, films, music, theatre productions, video games, and theme parks.
