About the author

Tove Jansson was born and died in Helsinki, Finland. As a Finnish citizen whose mother tongue was Swedish, she was part of the Swedish-speaking Finns minority. Thus, all her books were originally written in Swedish.

Although known first and foremost as an author, Tove Jansson considered her careers as author and painter to be of equal importance.

Tove Jansson wrote and illustrated her first Moomin book, The Moomins and the Great Flood (1945), during World War II. She said later that the war had depressed her, and she had wanted to write something naive and innocent. Besides the Moomin novels and short stories, Tove Jansson also wrote and illustrated four original and highly popular picture books.

Jansson's Moomin books have been translated into 33 languages.

This series does not have the quality of artwork I would associate with moomin books, the style is cartoon like and the colours are more realistic but they are nice enough with an interesting plot.

Moomin finds a little Dragon who is very cute but obviously needs to be in the wild like nearly all animals. Moomin fights against his desire to keep the little Dragon and does what he knows is best for an animal which is to be in it's natural habitat. A good story about considering the needs of others.

Sød historie, både om hvordan det kan være rart at have en hemmelighed for sig selv, men i højere grad hvordan man kan være en god ven, uden at man behøver fortælle nogen om det. Mumrikken ❤️
