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
Snorkmaiden
Snorkmaiden is young and a bit of an erratic personality, always full of surprises. Snorkmaiden is Moomintroll’s friend and his love interest. Snorkmaiden has a brother called Snork, and they belong in the family of Snorks. The snorks change their colouring according to their emotions, and Snorkmaiden turns pale green when she gets upset. Snorkmaiden is an eternal dreamer, who often daydreams of romance and the prince of her dreams. Her vain and flirtatious nature might seem annoying to the others from time to time, but sometimes her stubbornness turns out to be very useful. Snorkmaiden has lovely golden coloured bangs, and a golden anklet. Snorkmaiden first appeared in Tove Jansson’s novel Comet in Moominland.
