Tales from Moominvalley - This book consists of several short stories, three of which heavily feature Snufkin: A Spring Tune, where a talkative squirrel keeps him from composing the melody he wants, The Last Dragon on Earth, where Moomintroll's newfound "pet" dragon falls in love with him, and Cedric, where he tells Sniff a story about his mother's aunt. Snufkin always wears a dark green hat with a wide brim and a similarly coloured, shabby old coat. He first joins the Moomins on their adventures in the book Comet in Moominland

He is not very good at haunting and gets annoyed when the colonists laugh at him. He takes up knitting to soothe his nerves. Unfamiliar with the holiday, the awakened Moomin family rushes into doing everything they can to meet with the traditions of Christmas. Nobody helps them understand what to do or what to expect, which leads the family to think it is something scary: “You’re the first to suggest Christmas is happy”, Moominpappa says when a small creature whispers Happy Christmas to him. “Aren’t you all afraid of what’s going to happen when it comes?”

First announced in 2013, a new Moomin theme park was opened in March 2019 at Lake Miyazawa, Hannō. There are two zones: the free Metsä Village area, comprising lakefront restaurants and shops set among natural activities, and the Moomin-themed zone offering attractions like Moominhouse and an art museum. [53] In the early 1950s, Jansson collaborated on Moomin-themed children's plays with Vivica Bandler. By 1958, Jansson began to become directly involved in theater as Lilla Teater produced Troll i kulisserna ( Troll in the wings), a Moomin play with lyrics by Jansson and music composed by Erna Tauro. The production was a success, and later performances were held in Sweden and Norway, [9] including recently at the Malmö Opera and Music Theatre in 2011. [36] As of January 2019, there are 20 Moomin Shops around the world, offering an extensive range of Moomin-themed goods. Finland, home of the Moomins, has three stores. There are two stores in the UK, one in the US, six in Japan. China and Hong Kong each have one store. There are three in South Korea and three in Thailand. [55] Moomin Cafes [ edit ]
