Tove Jansson
Tove Marika Jansson was a Finnish-Swedish author, a cartoon artist and a painter, best known for creating the Moomin characters. She was born on August 9th, 1914 in Helsinki, Finland. Tove Jansson was described as a tolerant human being with a good sense of humour. Tove Jansson became recognized in the 1940s, after the first Moomin novels were published. Her Moomin stories were published in newspapers, comic books and picture books. Jansson’s Moomin stories have been translated into 45 different languages, which makes her the most translated Finnish author of all time. Tove Jansson was very skilled in depicting different kinds of emotions in her Moomin stories. It wasn’t long before the Moomins had found their fans – in both children and adults. Later in life, Tove Jansson created more visual art and stories for adults. Moomin stories have been modified and used in different forms: In theatre, films, opera, radio and TV adaptations. First and foremost, Tove Jansson identified as a painter. She created commissioned artwork for Aurora Children’s Hospital, several charities, kindergartens and schools. Tove Jansson passed away in Helsinki on June 27th 2001, 86 years old. Since 2020 the Ministry of the Interior has recommended raising a flag on August 9th in honour of Tove Jansson and Finnish art.
Characters
The Hattifatteners
Wandering silently in large flocks, the Hattifatteners are peculiar creatures. Hattifatteners don’t eat, sleep or speak at all. They are only interested in traveling forward, to the horizon and beyond. Hattifatteners resemble narrow and pointy mushrooms, with tiny arms and eyes. When it thunders, they transform into lightning rods and should be avoided. Otherwise they are quite harmless. On the Midsummer day Hattifatteners gather together on their own island, but after that they continue their eternal wandering. The first time hattifatteners were seen in Tove Jansson’s novel The Moomins and the Great Flood.
