Drawn to Stories | Tove Jansson, the creator of Moomins @drawntostories5940 | Uploaded August 2021 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Tove Jansson (1914-2001) is perhaps the most widely translated Finnish author and certainly the most well-known one - she created the Moomins. In addition to writing several Moomin novels (for example, "Comet in Moominland" and "Finn Family Moomintroll") and comic strips, she wrote a picture book Who Will Comfort Toffle, drew illustrations for The Hobbit and Alice in Wonderland, but also wrote novels and short stories for adults, including the lighthearted novel The Summer Book about a young girl spending the summer with her grandmother on an island.
