Tove Jansson is without a doubt one of the best Finnish artists of all time and also the most widely read Finnish author abroad. Her work is of immeasurable value because of the success she made as a writer, artist and cartoonist. She was a multi-talented artist who is mostly remembered as the creator of the Moomins. The Moomin books have been translated into over sixty languages.
