Miffy
(Dutch: Nijntje, pronounced [ˈnɛiɲcə]) is a small female
rabbit in a series of picture books drawn and written by Dutch artist
Dick Bruna. The original Dutch name, "Nijntje", is a shortening of the
diminutive konijntje, "little rabbit".

The first Miffy book was produced in 1953,
and almost 30 others have followed. In total they have sold over 85
million copies, and led to two separate television series as well as
items such as clothes and toys featuring the character. A
feature-length film, Miffy the Movie, was released on 30 January
2013.
