There are several references to Moomin ancestors in the Moomin stories, but in the book Moominland Midwinter, Moomintroll actually meets one. The ancestors are an important part of Moomin history and identity, serving as a reminder of where Moomins came from – and what still lives within them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Learn more about the character\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moomin.com\/en\/blog\/moomin-ancestor\/#0c71c580\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eLearn more about the \u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.moomin.com\/en\/blog\/moomin-ancestor\/#0c71c580\" title=\"Learn more about the character\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003echaracter\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Learn more about the character\" href=\"https:\/\/www.moomin.com\/en\/blog\/muskrat-the-gloomy-philosopher\/#0c71c580\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-readable\"\u003eIs the Ancestor your favourite character?
