| TOVE JANSSON (1914-) The Moomins are some friendly figures who live in a forest in the idyllic Moomin valley.  The way they meet the real
problems of the world (fear, solitude, freedom, dependence) is originally spiced with
witty humor and all the time characterized by deep humanity with great tolerance of
difference. Her books which originally were written in Swedish has been translated into 33
languages. Tove Jansson says about her Moomin books: «I have not wished to philosophize
or educate anyone but have amused principally myself with my stories». The stamps are
issued in a booklet with 4 pairs. |
