Overview
Finn Family Moomintroll is the third in the series of Moomin books by Swedish-speaking Finnish writer Tove Jansson, published in Swedish in 1948 and translated to English in 1950. It owes its title in translation to the fact that it was the first Moomin book to be published in English, and was actually marketed as the first in the series until the 1980s. The English translation made her famous internationally; the book has since been translated into many languages. It forms the basis of episodes 1–8 in the 1990 TV series.
