Moomin - A journey through time
”At last they came to a small valley that was more beautiful than any they had seen earlier in the day. And there, in the midst of the meadow, stood a house that almost looked like a stove, very elegant and painted blue.”
Those are a few lines from the very first Moomin book, published in 1945. Much has happened since, and generations the world over have followed the Moomins on their many adventures. Follow us through a timeline of the Moomin family as featured in some of our most beloved products.
1945 – The Moomins are born
We meet the Moomins for the very first time in The Moomins and the Great Flood, where the Moominmamma and Moomintroll find their home in the Moomin valley during their search for Moominpappa. The little white characters resembled nothing else at the time, and were very popular among kids all over the world.
