context_page_description: The Moomins are the central characters in a series of books and a comic strip by Swedish-speaking Finnish illustrator Tove Jansson, originally published in Swedish by Schildts in Finland. They are a family of white, round fairy tale characters with large snouts that make them resemble hippopotamuses. The family lives in their house in Moominvalley, though in the past, their temporary residences have included a lighthouse and a theatre. They have had many adventures along with their various friends.
  In all, nine books were released in the series, together with five picture books and a comic strip being released between 1945 and 1993.
  The Moomins have since been the basis for numerous television series, films and even a theme park called Moomin World in Naantali, Finland.
context_section_description: The books in the series, in order, are:
  The Moomins and the Great Flood (Originally: Småtrollen och den stora översvämningen) – 1945.
  Comet in Moominland (Originally: Kometjakten/Kometen kommer) – 1946.
  Finn Family Moomintroll, Some editions: The Happy Moomins –(Originally: Trollkarlens hatt) – 1948.

  All of the books in the main series except The Moomins and the Great Flood (Originally: Småtrollen och den stora översvämningen) were translated and published in English during the 1960s and 70s. This first book would eventually be translated into English in 2005 by David McDuff and published by Schildts of Finland for the 60th anniversary of the series. A later 2012 version of the same translation featuring Jansson's new preface to the 1991 Scandinavian printing, was published in Britain by Sort Of Books, and was more widely distributed.
  There are also five Moomin picture books by Tove Jansson:
  The Book about Moomin, Mymble and Little My (Originally: Hur gick det sen?) – 1952.

  The first official translation of Villain in the Moominhouse by Tove Jansson historian Ant O'Neill was premiered in a reading at the ArchWay With Words literary festival on 25 September 2017.
  The books and comic strips have been translated from their original Swedish and English respectively into many languages. The Book about Moomin, Mymble and Little My is the first Moomin book to be adapted for iPad.
