39 - Muumi
MOUMINES
You can't miss it, the Moumines are omnipresent and very famous in Finland. Personally I didn't know them at all, which may shock the Finns. I have the impression that in comparison it's as if someone in France said he didn't know Casimir.
TOVE JANSSON
Tove Jansson invented the Moumines (Muumi in Finnish) during the Second World War, so that children could escape to a lighter world. In 1952, she achieved a success that transcended borders and decided to change the format of the stories to comics.
HERITAGE AWARDS
Three albums were translated into French in 2008 as part of the Petit Lézard collection and were awarded the Heritage Awards 2008 at the Angouleme festival. Les Moumines also won accolades from television (many series were produced in Europe and Japan) and cinema (Moumines and the crazy summer adventure released in November 2009).
DEATH IN 2001
Tove Jansson passed away in 2001, at the age of 86, on a small island where she lived in a remote location, just like her characters. We celebrated the 100th anniversary of her birth in 2014. She leaves behind beautiful stories and a host of by-products that appeal to the Finns and Japanese, who flock to Tampere to admire the figurines and illustrations that the author entrusted to the art museum.
NAANTALI
By the way, I went to Naantali near Turku and it has a park dedicated to the Moumines. By the way, don't forget to buy a cup of littala, the famous Finnish brand of tableware, that you can find in every department store, which gathers all the characters of Moumine. Every good Finn has at least one piece from this lovely collection.
