The most popular quotes from Moomins

Moomintroll, the first character of the creator of the Moomins, a Finnish Swede Tove Jansson, was born from the artist's own imagination already in the 1930s. The whole world of Moomins that was slowly born afterwards, has delighted both children and adults in different books, which have been translated into up to 50 different languages.

Moomintroll and his parents Moominmamma and Moominpappa live with the family’s adopted son Sniff in the Moominhouse in Moomin Valley. Other residents of the valley include Snorkmaiden, Mymble, Little My, Snork, Fillyjonk and her children, Snufkin, Groke, Hemulen and Stinky. Among them Snorkmaiden and Little My also often live in the Moominhouse.
