Features: Tove Jansson, the world-renowned master of fantasy literature and female painter, was born in 1914. Her Moomin series stories present readers with a curious world filled with sincerity, kindness, and beauty. The lively and adorable Moomins, who live in the forest and resemble upright miniature hippopotamuses, are plump and shy, and love the sunshine. They form a unified and harmonious world with their forest environment. The stories written by Jansson have now been adapted into animated films and are shown worldwide, making the Moomins familiar characters for children around the globe. For her significant contributions to world children's literature through her literary and artistic activities, Tove Jansson was awarded the International Hans Christian Andersen Award for Children's Literature in 1966.
