Moomin ‘Moominpappa’ Enamel Pin Badge Bring the friendly faces of Moomins into your life with this Moomin Enamel Pin Badge, celebrating the wonderfully idyllic Moominvalley. This pin badge is a wonderful accessory to feature on jackets, bags or clothing to show off your favourite Moomin character. Designed as Moominpappa, prancing amongst a flowery field with his top hat, the badge features rose gold detailing and securely fastens onto any garment so you can carry him with you everywhere you go. The cardboard backing that the pin badge is fixed to reads a quote from Moominpappa; ‘ All responsibilities are only a nuisance’. A wonderful sentiment from a wise Moomin, this makes a perfect Christmas or birthday gift for any Moomin fans. Why not collect all of the pins featuring different characters to expand your collection! This is not a toy. Contains functional sharp points and small parts that could pose as a choking hazard. Moomin Range The Moomin books by internationally acclaimed Finnish author, Tove Jansson have been loved by generations of children since they first appeared in the 1940’s. Written and illustrated with hand drawn images by Tove, the characters are based on people she knew in her own life. These endearing creatures were made into comic strips and TV cartoons as well as the original series of nine books, and even today there is a Moomin theme park in Finland. Jansson died in 2001, her books by then translated into 45 languages; in 2017 she was honoured in two London exhibitions and an outdoor Moomin adventure event in Kew Gardens. It is her delightful illustrations that are particularly remembered, simple line drawings that portray the portly trolls and their friends, in humorous situations and magical landscapes, and these images look wonderful when reproduced on stationery accessories and household items. No doubt the Moomin legacy will continue for generations of children (and adults) to come!
