On Monday I received three postcards: one from Finland, one from Japan and one from Belgium.
The card from Finland is the official Tove 100 card celebrating the 100th birthday of Tove Jansson. Tove Jansson was born in 1914. She was a Finland Swedish writer, illustrator and comic strip author becoming famous for writing the Moomin books for children. The first Moomin book called "The Moomins and the Great Flood" was published in 1945. In 1966 she got the Hans Christian Andersen Medal. She died in 2001.
The card shows two of the famous Moomin Characters called Moominpappa and Moominmamma. The illustration is from the book "The Dangerous Journey" published in 1977.
On the postcard is also the official logo of the anniversary year.
With nice matching stamp:
Moomins (from set of six) (issued 09-05-2007)
The stamp shows Snork Maiden.
Thank You very much Marianne!
