Thank you for this look at an iconic "brand", which I still see everywhere! I find it really remarkable that Tove Jansson created the Moomins and wrote wonderful novels!
This is probably the most famous fantasy series that ever came out of Finland, which doesn't have too much of a pop culture presence otherwise.
Jansson is one of those authors who is known for doing one thing while also doing many things not acknowledged. Besides the Moomins, she also wrote several novels and memoirs, which have only recently been issued in English by New York Review Publishing.

I haven't heard of the Moomins or a Finnish animated tradition. I will check them out.
