The first Moomin story comes to life

MUUMIT 80, kuvituskuva

Eighty years ago, the world was introduced to the enchanting world of the Moomins when Tove Jansson published The Moomins and the Great Flood. This tale marked the beginning of the Moomins’ unforgettable adventures, which have entertained and touched generations across the globe. The story is filled with courage, hope, and friendship—values that have remained at the heart of the Moomins for decades.

The Moomins and the Great Flood tells the story of how Moomintroll and Moominmamma set out to find the adventurous Moominpappa, who has gone off exploring. Their journey begins in a dark forest, where they meet a new friend, Sniff, and narrowly escape the clutches of a threatening snake. While fleeing the flood, they discover light and warmth in unexpected places, such as from a creature named Tulippa, and bravely continue onward.

The journey becomes increasingly dangerous as the great flood carries them deeper into the unknown. Aboard the Hattifatteners’ boat, they are at the mercy of a storm, putting their determination to the test. In the end, they find Moominpappa and are swept by the floodwaters to a small valley, which becomes their new home—Moominvalley. This magical adventure marked the beginning of the Moomins’ long and beloved story, which continues to thrive even today.
