Travel Guide

Tampere

The books are fantasy and so many of the locations are vague but there are a few gems where you can really go and visit. Tampere is also the city where the author lives and works, so you really get a sense of her inspiration and the essence of the books.

Parks

Book three – “The park even had Finland’s biggest poplar tree. Under different circumstances, Lumikki would have though it the best park in Tampere.”

The library

Book three : “Lumikki knew that if she moved to the base of one of the arches that made up the vaulted ceiling of the Tampere City Library…..”

All books: The forests in and around Tampere

“This was Lumikki’s forest. The branches  were black shadows; the black shadows were branches. Tree roots coiled along the ground like snakes before diving underground to form a wide,thick network.”

“The forest was a game of shadows, a dance of dim light and mist, hushed whispers and sighs, passing currents of air that made the hair on her arms stand on end.”

Moomin Museum and art

Art is of course a major theme in all three books and the perfect chance to show off Tampere’s art colleges,museums and more!

She has happy memories of going here as a child. Always nice to see a character having such good taste
