Tove Jansson

Tove Jansson Work and Love Finnish-Swedish writer and artist Tove Jansson (1914 - 2001) achieved worldwide fame as the creator of the Moomins, written and illustrated between 1945 and 1970. The books about the brave, adventurous, yet family focused and home-loving Moomins have been translated into more than 55 languages and are still in print all over the world today. The Moomins were only a part of Jansson’s prodigious output. Already admired in Nordic art circles as a painter, cartoonist and illustrator, she would go on to write a series of classic novels and short stories. She remains Scandinavia’s best loved author. Tove Jansson’s work reflected the tenets of her life: her love of family, of nature, and her insistence on freedom to pursue her art. “Work and love” was the motto she chose for herself and her approach to both was joyful and uncompromising.

Moomin Timeline

1914

1946

1952

1957

Tove Jansson is born on August 9th, the eldest child of an artistic family.

The second book, Comet in Moominland (Swedish title Kometjakten / Mumintrollet på kometjakt / Kometen kommer) is published. Comet in Moominland is often seen as the first novel in the series, as it introduces many of the main characters, like Snufkin and Snorkmaiden, and is set in Moominvalley.

The Book about Moomin, Mymble and Little My (Swedish title: Hur gick det sen?) was the first Moomin picture book by Tove Jansson, published in 1952 in Swedish. Moomintroll is taking milk back home to his mother, Moominmamma, when he meets The Mymble who is searching for her missing sister Little My. Together the pair go looking for her.

Moominland Midwinter (Swedish title: Trollvinter), the sixth in the series of Tove Jansson’s Moomin books, is published. In this book, Janssson adopts a darker, more introspective tone compared to the earlier books that is continued in the remainder of the series. Often in the book Moomintroll is either lonely, miserable, angry or scared – the result of being forced to survive in a world to which he feels he does not belong. While preserving the charm of the previous novels, the story involves a more in-depth exploration of Moomintroll’s character than before.

1948 1935 Tove studies art both in Finland and abroad and she starts making Moomintroll paintings. Her first Moominlike character is later seen in the magazine Garm in 1943.

Finn Family Moomintroll (Swedish title: Trollkarlens hatt, “The Magician’s Hat”), the third in the series of Tove Jansson’s Moomin books, is published. It owes its title in translation to the fact that it was the first Moomin book to be published in English, and was actually marketed as the first in the series until the 1980s. The 1961 English publication features a foreword “by Moominmamma“, where she explains the nature of Moomins fearing that English children may not have heard of them; she also apologises for her “rottn” English.

1960 Who Will Comfort Toffle? (Swedish title: Vem kan trösta knyttet?) is the second picture book in the Moomin series by Tove Jansson. It was first translated into English by Kingsley Hart. The lonely Toffle leaves his home to look for friends, eventually finding the Miffle and rescuing her from The Groke.

1945

1950

1954

1962

Söderström & Co publishes the first Moomin story – The Moomins and the Great Flood (Småtrollen och den stora översvämningen) – in Swedish. It is the story about Moominmamma’s and Moomintroll’s search for the missing Moominpappa and how they found their way to Moominvalley.

The Exploits of Moominpappa (Swedish title: Muminpappans memoarer) is published. It is the fourth book in the Moomin series. It was considerably revised in 1968 under the title Moominpappa’s Memoirs. The story found in this book is mentioned in the previous Moomin books, as Moominpappa writes his memoirs in those stories. Unlike Comet in Moominland and Finn Family Moomintroll, both versions of the novel were translated into English.

The world’s largest newspaper – London Evening News – starts to publish the Moomin comic strip. The strip reaches up to 20 million readers daily in over 40 countries. The strip continues to run until 1974. From 1960, Tove’s brother Lars Jansson draws the strip. The first Moomin products come onto the market. Moominsummer Madness (Swedish title: Farlig midsommar, ‘Dangerous Midsummer’), the fifth in the series of Tove Jansson’s Moomins books, is published. The major theme of the novel is that of theatre, described as an infuriating but ultimately rewarding process.

Tales from Moominvalley (Swedish title: Det osynliga barnet och andra berättelser) is published. It is the seventh book in the Moomin series and unlike the other books, it is a book of short stories, not a novel.

1965 Moominpappa at Sea (Swedish title: Pappan och havet) is published. It is the eighth book in the Moomin book series by Tove Jansson. In the novel the Moomin family is off to live in a lighthouse on a tiny island, because even the home-loving Moomins need a change of scenery sometimes.

1969

Fuji TV Zuiyo Enterprises produces an animated Moomin series in Japan and the Moomins become very popular in the territory. The Swedish TV produces a series called Mumintrollet (Moomintroll).

Metsä Village, that opened in November 2018, allows visitors to experience the Nordic atmosphere and lifestyle whilst the Moominvalley Park highlights the world of the Moomins.

1970

“Tove Jansson was a genius, a woman of profound wisdom and great artistry.” Philip Pullman

The Summer Book (Sommarboken) 160 pages | 1972

An elderly artist and her six-year-old granddaughter Sophia spend the summer together on a tiny island in the Gulf of Finland. They wander the island having philosophical conversations, talking about death, or how best to dive into water. They fight, curse each other, have adventures, build things and break into the new summer house on a neighbouring island. Written with clarity, brusque humour and wisdom, The Summer Book is a fresh, vivid and magical novel about seemingly endless summers of discovery.

MEDDELANDE

eddelande består av Tove Janssons bästa noveller, utvalda av henne själv. Lästa krono logiskt formar novellerna ett porträtt av en hårt arbetande konstnär under ett helt liv. Boken blev Tove Janssons sista meddelande till läsarna. Novellen var den form Tove Jansson helst skrev i för vuxna och hon behärskade den suveränt. De här valdes ur samlingar utgivna över tjugo år, från Lyssnerskan till Brev från Klara, och dessutom skrev hon åtta nya noveller för boken. Många är klassiker i genren, som ”Vargen”, ”Serietecknaren” och ”Dockskåpet”. I denna jubileums utgåva ingår ett nyskrivet förord av Philip Teir.
