About This Item

Helsinki: Schildts, 1972. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. Published in Helsinki by Schildts, Tove Jansson's publisher in her native Finland, the original first printing of the book by which she is arguably best-known nowadays. Printed in the Swedish language. Of legendary scarcity and in superb condition. In the publisher's 1/4 cloth with marble-effect boards, pp. 119 (120), the binding is firm and square, corners sharp. The block remains fresh and white and is free from previous owner names, finger-marking etc. A Fine example. The dustjacket is in VG shape without loss. A small nick to the top edge of the rear panel, minor shelf-wear along the top edge. Fixed to the title-page a beautiful example of the author's hand-signed autograph in green ink. A spectacular copy of this classic work.
