One of the rarest Tove Jansson and Moomin collector's item from 1949. The first Moomin (Snork at that time) appear for the first time in GARM magazine in the 1940s drawn by Tove Jansson her self. A new phase in the history of the Moomins began when Tove started working for the magazine Garm as an illustrator in 1940. In her early illustrations for Garm, Tove repeatedly drew two different characters: one was round, had big ears and somewhat resembled Moomintroll, and the other was skinny, often angry-looking with small ears. The latter character slowly became rounder and also started resembling Moomintroll. I am happy to provide more information about this unusual Tove Jansson rarity.
