Maps from Moomin Valley. Cartographic Reading of Tove Jansson’s Series

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the reading of maps attached to selected volumes of Tove Jansson’s Moomin series. These maps constitute a specific type of illustration of the content of the work, discreetly corresponding to the overarching meaning of the text and its specific emotional aura. In the Finnish writer’s artistic project, the map plays a lesser role in representation, aiming to direct readers’ experiences and stimulate their imagination rather than to improve our orientation in the worlds presented in the story. A map designed in this way supports interpretation, helping the recipient feel the atmosphere of unique stories from Moomin Valley.
