Moomins from Finland








The Moomins are extremely popular in Finland. Born from Tove Jansson's fantasy in 1945, Moomins are a family of trolls, although they look more like hippopotamuses. Together with other characters, they appeared on books, comic stripes and TV. In Finland there is even a theme park dedicated to them called "Moomin World". Finnish Posti has issued several stamps to celebrate Moomins: there is an entire section on their website about 'Moomin products' where you can find the above stamps.
