These figures first appeared as characters in the artist and author Tove Jansson's picture books, originally published over 60 years ago. The stories follow the lives of the Moomins in the safe and secure Moomin Valley, which is surrounded by a scary and dangerous forest. This forest is inhabited by creatures like Stinkys and Grokes, which are highly threatening to the Moomins.

Jansson's books were and still are enjoyed by both children and adults alike; by children, for their cute pictures and magical characters, and by adults, for the wide reaching issues that the stories raised.
