By 1965, when the seventh and penultimate Moomin novel Moominpappa at Sea was published her books had become world famous. The eight Moomin titles would be translated into over fifty languages and remain in print for the next six decades. Tove Jansson lived in Helsinki and a tiny island in the Gulf of Finland which she shared with her life partner, the graphic artist, Tuulikki Pietilä.","brand":"Sort of Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40582483312725,"sku":"9781908745705N","price":13.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2481\/5790\/products\/c2e0b632-dfed-4ba9-8634-3c3fe81ccf0d.jpg?v=1681755583","url":"https:\/\/smeikalbooks.co.uk\/en-us\/products\/moominpappa-at-sea","provider":"smeikalbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
