Dick Bruna's Economical Impact

From the 18th of February 2006, Dick Bruna's work is on permanent display in the Dick Bruna House, opposite the Centraal Museum in Utrecht. The Dick Bruna house is part of the Central Museum and the Dick Bruna collection comprises more than 1,200 works.

The museum also has a shop where books, with or without CD's and DVD's, T-shirts and other Miffy products are being sold. The collection is not restrained to solely books. Multi-media, home and interior, gifts, hobby, school, office and travel products, clothes, shoes and bags, and so much more are included.

Miffy has starred in 30 of Bruna's 120 books, which have been translated into 40 languages and sold more than 85 million copies worldwide. Dick Bruna has received many awards for his work.

I've got to say, as a kid I found Miffy books uninteresting, because there were no words, so no story to follow. But maybe that shows I've no imagination, I don't know.

Rache,
Welcome and thanks for your comment. :-)

Since there are no words, you can make up your own story and that can be different each time.
I don't think it is a matter of imagination, but of preference. It appeals to you, or it doesn't. It would be boring if we all liked the same things. :-)

God's Grace.

Audrey,
I am sure Miffy already had several new adventures in the mean time, haha.

God's Grace.
