Day 19: Moomin


The Moomins are the central characters in a series of books and a comic strip by Finnish writer Tove Jansson, originally published in Swedish in Finland. They are a family of carefree and adventurous trolls who live in Moominvalley.

The Moomins have since been the basis for numerous television series, a film and even a theme park.

  3. Thank you again for bringing joy to children! We used to have a Moomin shop in town but, sadly, it closed a couple years ago.

  5. Hi! Just found your site through a recommendation from a friend's little brother on dirty old facebook, and I am currently admiring my little Andy Warhol toy. Thank you!! I would love to see Jem, Aeon Flux, Skeletor, Rainbow Brite, She Ra or Carmen San Diego. Or all of them . (Child of the 80's anyone?) Later skater.
