Cover Detail of Moominland Winter by Tove Jansson

Tove Jansson Books in Order

Full disclosure here, the Moomins give me the wig. I blame it on the late 1970s programme of The Moomins which was shown on terrestrial channels. I remember as a child not feeling very sure about these beloved characters. But they are truly beloved by people all over the world. Finnish people remain very proud of Tove Jansson. And so here is a list of the books published. I've tried to put them by series.
