The Moomins are the central characters in a series of books by Finnish writer Tove Jansson, originally published in Swedish. They are a family of Scandinavian trolls who are white, round and furry in appearance, with large snouts that make them resemble hippopotamuses. The carefree and adventurous family live in their house in Moominvalley, though in the past their residences have included a lighthouse and a theatre. Read more about The Moomin World & its Creator
The Moomin collection is based on author-artist Tove Jansson’s (1914 – 2001) original Moomin production: Moomin books, illustrations and three-dimensional tableaux. Enter the Moomin Valley Art Collection

Hello to all children and grown-ups! Did you know that there are people who want to ban Moomin and his friends? Horrible. At least one site on internet the authors even recommend that parents prevent their children from meeting and playing with friends who read or watch Moomin comics. Moomin and his friends have a negative influence on small children, say the authors on their page. Sign the guest book and help Save the Moomins

When I read this, tears welled up in my eyes. Who could want to ban a moomin, a snufkin, or a snorkmaiden for that matter? Moomin teach good values. Enjoy the simple and beautiful things in life and love your family and friends. Sometimes they have a glass a wine. Moomins live in Europe, after all. Save the Moomins! Moominpappa for President!
