The saturation of Moomins in everyday Finnish life might be diluting Tove Jansson's original work, writes one Helsingin Sanomat columnist.

I’m interested on others’ thoughts on this. I got into Moomin after Finnish family started gifting me mugs, and I now have a sizable collection. To me as a foreigner, the mugs were my gateway to the actual books. Is your experience that the children around you are getting burnt out on Moomin before they’re old enough for the books?

    I didn’t even know there were mugs (until 3 or so years ago, when my mum got me one) or the books (until about a year ago, when I found this community).
