Who are the Moomins of Finland?

From a sign in the shop:

(Edited for length

“The Moomins are the central characters in a series of books  and a comic strip by Swedish-Finn illustrator, visual artist and writer, Tove Jansson, originally published in Swedish in Finland.

They are a family of trolls who are white and roundish, with large snouts, who love adventures with their friends. The carefree and adventurous family live in their house in Moominvalley. 

Moominvalley is a peaceful place where the Moomins live in harmony with nature. Moominhouse is the largest building in the valley, and visitors from far and wide are welcome to visit. 

The Moomins made a path from the Moominhouse to the seashore, and built a small bathhouse there. Moomins love the sea and playing on the beach. 

The Moomins do love a good journey and their adventures take them far and wide, but they know their home is always there for them to return to. 

The Moomins are a direct reflection of author-illustrator Tove Jansson’s life philosophy and practices, and people from around the world continue to resonate with her messages”
