A HERITAGE BRAND RENEWED
Tove Jansson (1914-2001), Finnish-Swedish writer and artist, achieved worldwide fame as the creator of the Moomins, written and illustrated between 1945 and 1977. Tove wrote nine novels, four picture books and hundreds of comic strips. Te books about the brave and adventurous, yet family focused and home-loving Moomins have been translated into more than 50 languages and are still in print all over the world today.
In collaboration with Moomin Characters and key publishers, the Moomin publishing business is blossoming, growing up to 30% year on year since 2010. With carefully developed ”new publishing”, based on the storylines and artwork created by Tove Jansson, Penguin Random House, Pan Macmillan, Egmont and Bonnier Books Finland have developed a number of books and series of publications including board books, story, activity and cofee table books, sold and re-printed worldwide, from the UK to Korea, Russia to the US, Finland to Japan, to mention a few.
For the frst time in history, all original works by Tove Jansson as well as the new development is now represented worldwide by one agency, Rights & Brands, based in Stockholm, Sweden, and jointly owned by Moomin Characters and Bulls.
