Stockholm: Hugo Gebers, 1927. First edition. Crown octavo. Original wrappers printed in black & orange on cream. 248,[4] pp. Wraps, spine, and text clean and bright, a few nicks to edges due to the wraps extending beyond the text; many leaves unopened. Upper wrapper design reminiscent of Vanessa Bell & Duncan Grant period designs, lower wrapper advertises other titles available from the publisher. Very good to near fine. WorldCat shows copies in only two libraries, and only one other comparable copy available in commerce.

First Swedish edition. The translation is by Siri Thorngren-Olin. According to The Reception of Virginia Woolf in Europe, edited by Mary Ann Caws, and Nicola Luckhurst. London: Continuum Books, 2002. p. 10. "We are surprised to learn, for example, that the first complete translation of Woolf in book form was into Swedish." A rare distinction. KIRKPATRICK & CLARKE D191.
