Thingumy & Bob King’s Ruby Moomin mug, green

Thingumy & Bob & King’s Ruby Moomin mug is part of the Spring 2018 collection from Moomin Arabia. This mug shows an image from one of Tove Jansson’s famous stories about Moomintroll and his friends, this season based on the ‘Finn Family Moomintroll’ tale published in 1948. In this story, the Hobgoblin travels to Moominvalley in search of the King’s Ruby. Characters Thingumy & Bob, who speak their own secret language, have hidden the ruby in their suitcase and moved to Moominvalley to seek safety. During a party, everyone in Moominvalley gets one wish granted by the Hobgoblin, including a replicate of the King’s Rugy at the request of Thingumy & Bob.
