Die Mumins
Die Mumins: eine drollige Gesellschaft | Tove Jansson
47 posts | 29 read | 6 to read
Die Mumins und ihre Freunde fhren ein friedliches Leben in einem menschenfernen Tal. Langeweile kennt diese drollige Gesellschaft aber keineswegs! Stets hecken die Mumins frhliche Streiche aus. Als sie eines Tages einen wundersamen Hut finden und mit nach Hause nehmen, wird das Mumintal pltzlich zu einem Tummelplatz fr allerlei Arten von Zauberei und unerklrlichen Vorkommnissen. (Quelle: Homepage des Verlags).

"It is autumn in Moomin Valley, for how else can spring come back again?"

I find this a comforting thought in uncertain times ?

This is Snork on the landing stage as illustrated in the book. My son was so taken with the replica of this at the Tove Jansson park in the Akebono Children's Forest in Japan 😍 they have the moomin house too! So delightful. I read this book after visiting and was excited to find mention of the different structures we'd seen. #babytravels #Japan

My first Moomin book but maybe not the best choice as it's the 3rd 😂 i only roughly know the characters from picture books & cartoons so took awhile to catch on. Very quirky! There's a good amount of bickering and cheating that I don't really love for a young children's book, but the motley family and hefty whimsy still make it a winner. Photo from our trip to Akebono Children's Forest with Moomin buildings 😍 #mommyreads #babytravels

Thanks @Tove_Reads for my fun #sockswap package! I loved Finn Family Moomintroll as a child! And can‘t wait to try out the tea, although I may keep it since the wrapping is so cute! The socks are adorable!

Daughter and I had some shopping to do in town yesterday. We decided to stop off in Waterstones to soothe our frayed nerves. I promised not to buy any new books... but I didn't say anything about not buying a Moomintroll, so this little one came home with us!

Yesterday little Snork, my grey guinea pig, passed away... Sleep tight little buddy 💙
It's never easy saying goodbye to a pet, even a little piggy 😢

mangokittty I‘m so sorry. I love guinea pigs they are wonderful pets. Yours are very beautiful. I hope your other piggy will be okay. 7y
Rachel.Rencher I had two piggies that were sisters. They were already old when I adopted them, but when they crossed rainbow bridge last year it killed me. A pet's a pet, no matter how small 🐹 7y

Posting in honour of Tove Jansson's birthday.
My daughter thinks she has outgrown the Moomins so these are all mine now, too.

arlenefinnigan Outgrown the Moomins?!? I didn't read those books til I was in my thirties 😊 7y

Summer is the perfect chance to spend time with the Moomins and their friends. Raspberry juice and adventures abound, especially when the Hobgoblin's hat is nearby. Takes you back to glorious summer days as a child when you got to make-believe and everything came just right by bedtime. Best enjoyed with some pancakes and jam!
