This is a gorgeous, soft, cuddly Moomin soft toy. This iconic, instantly recognisable character was first introduced to the world in books, written by Tove Jansson, that were first published in Scandinavia in 1945 followed by comic strips and cartoon films. The Moomins` popularity has not waned with a new 3-D film produced in Finland just this year. Having its own theme park and museum, how many of us didn`t learn to read with the help of Moomintroll and his friends.
