I grew up with my aunt Tove Jansson’s fantastic books about 1)imaginary creatures who live in Moominvalley. Though entirely fictional, the Moomins are blessed with some of the best and most exciting human qualities that make them still 2)lovable to kids around the world these days.

Tove was born into a family of artists in Helsinki.

She was the first child of the 3)sculptor Viktor Jansson and his wife Signe Hammarsten Jansson, an 4)illustrator. It seemed 5)inevitable that she should pursue some sort of artistic career. School was difficult for her because her teachers did not have a lot of 6)sympathy for her artistic 7)inclinations. At the age of 15, encouraged by her parents, Tove left to 8)enroll at the School of Applied Arts in Stockholm.

Later in her life, Tove was often asked why she started writing and what specifically gave birth to the Moomin stories.

She explained that painting helped her forget the conditions of the 1940s, so she

illustrated an exciting, funny adventure story with a happy ending. This once-upon-a-time story was about a little Moomin and his mother, wandering through the woods looking for Moominpappa who was lost. After many adventures, the three are reunited in an 9)idyllic valley, where Moominpappa has built them a house.

The earliest idea for the Moomin characters came from the stories an uncle told Tove during her student years in Stockholm. Later she used a figure, slightly 10)hippo-like in appearance, as the signature for her cartoons. That later became the figures we recognize as the Moomins of today.

Tove’s most beloved 11)refuge was her house on a 12)remote island off the coast of southern Finland. In fact, she spent almost every summer of her life in the countryside near the sea, or on an island out at sea. My aunt once said, “Had it not been for my very happy childhood, I might never have started writing. If, 13)on the whole, I never wrote entirely for children at all maybe it was just for myself, to find a way back to the lost world of adventures with happy endings, to the confidence, the constant curiosity and the 14)boundless possibilities, never questioned...a way back to the endless summers in the 15)archipelago of the Gulf of Finland.”

我在姑姑托芙・颜生那些奇幻故事书的陪伴下长大,那是关于生活在姆明谷的幻想生物的故事。虽然姆明一族完全是虚构的,但他们拥有人性中一些最美好、最激动人心的特质。因此时至今日,他们依然受到全世界少年儿童的喜爱。

托芙出生在赫尔辛基的一个艺术之家,是雕塑家维克托・颜生和当插画家的妻子西涅・哈马斯滕・颜生的第一个孩子。因此,她会以艺术为职业似乎也成了理所当然的事情。上学读书对于她来说很不容易,因为老师们并不体谅她对艺术的热爱。15岁

时, 托芙在父母的鼓励下退学,前往斯德哥尔摩应用艺术学院就读。

后来,人们经常问托芙为什么开始写作,是什么特别的因素促成了姆明这个系列故事的诞生。她解释说,绘画能帮她忘却上世纪40年代的恶劣环境,所以她画了一个刺激有趣、大团圆结局的历险故事。这个发生在很久很久以前的故事讲述了小姆明和妈妈在丛林中穿行,找寻失踪的姆明爸爸。经过各种冒险后,一家三口终于在一个充满田园风光的山谷团聚,姆明爸爸在那儿为他们建了一栋房子。

姆明一族的角色创意最初来源于托芙的叔叔给她讲的故事,当时她正在斯德哥尔摩求学。后来,她用一个看起来有点像河马的形象作为自己的漫画签名。那随后就成了我们如今熟知的姆明一族。

托芙最喜爱的避暑胜地是她在一个偏僻小岛上的房子,该岛位于芬兰南部海上。事实上,在一生当中,几乎每年夏天她都会在海边的乡村度过,或者出海到岛上游历。姑姑曾说:“假如我不曾拥有一个非常快乐的童年,我或许永远不会从事写作。如果,总的来说,我并不全是为了孩子而写作的话――或许那只是为了我自己;为了重回那个失落的世界,在那里充满冒险,而且最后总是大团圆结局;也为了自信、源源不绝的好奇心、无穷的可能性、从不质疑世事……为了重回芬兰湾群岛那永无止境的夏天。”
