The writer and illustrator of Moominpappa at Sea (1965) and many other Moomin stories for children didn’t initially set out to be known as a children’s author. While Tove Jansson accomplished a great deal as a painter and cartoonist, she became widely popular as the creator of the Moomin characters she is still best remembered for today—Moomintroll, Moominmamma, and other eccentric figures. A student who is researching children’s literature asserts that even though this outcome wasn’t what Jansson had intended, she committed to the role she found herself in.
