Snufkin is an adventurer and a vagabond admired by those who are small and shy. Snufkin wears old green clothes and a wide brimmed hat hes had since birth. He lives in a tent smokes a pipe and plays the harmonica. Snufkin also has a great dislike for authority figures such as the Park Keeper and the many regulation signs and fences he puts up and as such is often thought of as an anarchist. At one point he sabotages The Park Keeper by planting Hattifatteners in his garden causing them to grow and drive him out. Snufkin prefers freelygrowing foliage to fencedin lawns. Snufkin keeps as few worldly possessions as possible seeing them as a burden and being happier keeping the memory of a thing than the thing itself. This aspect of his personality is contrasted in the character of Sniff. Source: Wikipedia
