80 years on, the Moomins are still going strong.
Finland’s most beloved literary family, the Moomins, mark their milestone birthday this year with a joyful celebration in Tampere, home to the world’s only Moomin Museum. The white, hippo-like characters created by Tove Jansson have been winning hearts since 1945, when "The Moomins and the Great Flood" first introduced readers to the curious little Moomintroll and his doting Moominmamma.
