The Moomins have since been the basis for numerous television series, films, and even a theme park called Moomin World in Naantali, Finland. Several stage productions were made from the series as well, including a number that Jansson herself was involved in.

As a visual artist, illustrator, and author, Tove Jansson expanded and transformed her expression tirelessly up to the last years of her life.

Her works are a reflection of her life philosophy, eliciting enthusiastic responses from children and adults alike in all countries where her works are known.

The Moomins series contains nine books, together with five picture books and a comic strip, published between 1945 and 1993.
