Moomin & Pippi
Moomin
The Moomins first appeared in print in 1945 and went on to star in a series of books and comics, enthralling millions of readers all over the world. The stories about the adventurous and witty Moomins stem from the singular imagination of Tove Jansson (1914-2001), a Finnish-Swedish artist who created not only captivating tales but also a remarkable visual legacy. Her works span a vast spectrum of creativity, from intricate watercolour paintings to charming comic strips and illustrations.
Astrid Lindgren’s Pippi Longstocking is not just the strongest girl in the world. She is a symbol of freedom, strength, kindness, courage and justice. A rebel who uses her superpowers wisely and never abuses her power. She stands up against what is wrong. Thanks to that, she has changed the world for the better since 1945. With her mismatched stockings, carrot-coloured hair and freckly face, not to mention super-human strength and resilience, Pippi Longstocking has become a cultural icon.
Pippi is regularly voted as one of the world’s favourite children’s characters; self-sufficient, quick-witted, generous and never letting anything – or anyone – shake her self-belief or take advantage. Visit us at the stand and discover great products featuring both Moomin and Pippi Longstocking!
