Snusmumriken


Postcard IDIS-18566
Country: Iceland

Here is so lovely card! Firstly, I like all things related to Moomins. Secondary, Snusmumriken is one from my favourite Moomims characters. Thirdly, this is my first postcard from Iceland! Love, love :)

Snusmumriken is a character in the Moomin series of books authored by Swedish-speaking Finn Tove Jansson, appearing in six of the nine books. He is the best friend of the series' protagonist, Moomintroll, and lives a nomadic lifestyle, only staying in Moominvalley in the spring and summer, but leaving for warmer climates down south every winter. He is the son of the elder Mymble and the Joxter, and is half-brother to the Mymble's daughter and Little My.

Snusmumriken  wears old green clothes and a wide brimmed hat he has had since birth. He lives in a tent, smokes a pipe and plays the harmonica. He has a great hatred for all symbols of private property, even losing his temper with the Hemulen after the latter attempts to put up a sign declaring "Moominvalley".[1]

Snusmumriken prefers freely-growing foliage to fenced-in lawns. Snusmumriken  keeps as few worldly possessions as possible, seeing them as a burden, and being happier keeping the memory of a thing than the thing itself. 

Here is an Icelandic stamp:
