The Mumintrollen series contains Tove Jansson’s original Moomin novels, the core works that established the Moomin universe. Starting with The Moomins and the Great Flood in 1945, the series follows the Moomin family and their friends through adventures in Moominvalley.

The novels include Comet in Moominland, Finn Family Moomintroll, Moominsummer Madness, Moominland Midwinter, and Moominpappa at Sea, among others. The series grew darker and more reflective as it progressed, with Moominvalley in November (1970) serving as a meditative conclusion. Jansson also wrote Tales from Moominvalley, a collection of short stories set in the same world.
