The
Moomins (
Swedish:
Mumintroll,
Finnish:
Muumi) are the central characters in a series of
books and a
comic strip by
Swedish-Finn illustrator and writer
Tove Jansson, originally published in
Swedish by
Schildts in Finland. They are a family of
trolls, who are white and roundish, with large snouts, that make them resemble
hippopotamuses. The carefree and adventurous family live in their house in
Moominvalley, in the forests of Finland, though in the past their temporary residences have included a
lighthouse and a
theatre. They have many adventures along with their various friends.
In all, nine books were released in the series, with five picture books and a
comic strip being released between 1945 and 1993. The Moomins have since been the basis for numerous television series, films and even a theme park called
Moomin World in
Naantali,
Finland. (Source: Wikipedia :D )
