The Moomin family members, including Moomintroll, Moominmamma and Moominpappa, are the central characters in the Moomin stories. They are accompanied by their friends and the many creatures of Moominvalley and its surroundings – such as Snorkmaiden, Snufkin, Sniff, Little My, Hemulen, Stinky, and the Groke.
What are the Moomins based on?
Tove Jansson created the Moomins from her imagination, but as with most artists, she drew a lot of inspiration from her own life, family and what was going on in the world.
