For 80 years, Tove Jansson's Moomin stories have offered timeless tales of hope, resilience, and the universal quest for belonging. Here’s how to add a bit of Moomin magic to your life to celebrate the 80th anniversary.
If you didn’t know, it all began in 1945 with The Moomins and the Great Flood, the very first Moomin tale by Tove Jansson.
Written during the turmoil of World War II, this poignant fairytale served as Jansson’s way of finding solace amidst the darkness. The story reflects the struggles of millions displaced by war, weaving a narrative of resilience, hope, and the search for belonging.
The tale follows Moominmamma and Moomintroll on their journey to find a new home and their missing Moominpappa. Their odyssey concludes in a lush, tranquil place that will become Moominvalley, where a tall blue house stands—a sanctuary of warmth, safety, and unconditional welcome.
The Moominhouse embodies universal human needs: security, connection, and belonging. These themes first penned 80 years ago, remain as timeless and essential today as they were then.
