Finland: Map of Moominvalley

Yesterday I got four postcards: three from Finland and one from Ukraine.

One of the Finnish cards shows a map of Moominvalley. Moominvalley is a fictional place where the Moomin books of Tove Jansson are set. Although it is also threatened by natural forces, it is depicted as a beautiful place. The illustrated map of Moominvalley is from the third book of the series, "Finn Family Moomintroll".


With a great matching stamp:
EUROPA (from set of two) (issued 08-05-2015)
with First Day Special Postmark
The stamp shows old Moomin toys produced in the 1950s by Atelier Fauni. The featured characters are Hemulen’s aunt, Moomintroll and Fillyjonk.


On the card is also a special Moomin priority label.


Thank You very much Sini!
