The Moomins (Swedish: Mumintroll) are the central characters in a series of books and a comic strip by Finnish illustrator Tove Jansson, originally published in Swedish by Schildts[2] in Finland. They are a family of white, round fairy tale characters with large snouts that make them resemble the hippopotamus. However, despite this resemblance, the Moomin family are trolls. The family live in their house in Moominvalley, though in the past, their temporary residences have included a lighthouse and a theatre. They have had many adventures along with their various friends.
