Aggiungi al carrelloHard Cover. Dust Jacket. First Edition. First UK edition (ie first impression of the first UK Edition) in dustwrapper. 192 pp. Text illustrations by the author. Translated by Elizabeth Portch. Publisher's original cream cloth boards with red designs and titling. Spine tips bruised. Slight darkening at the tip and tail of the spi…ne. Minor foxing to the page block edges which has crept into the text in places. Front free end-paper professionally replaced using matching paper stock of a similar vintage. Offsetting to the rear free end-paper. No inscriptions. Some light pushing at the spine ends and tiny bumping at the lower front corner. Some light age related markings to the boards. Mild toning and spotting to the text-block. The scarce dustwrapper is unclipped showing the original publisher's price of 7s 6d net to the inside flap. The dustwrapper has a small chip at the top left-hand corner of the spine (not affecting any lettering) and is toned to the rear panel. Otherwise the artwork is uncommonly bright. The second in Tove Jansson's series of 'Moomin' books. Profusely illustrated in black and white by the author. Published in Swedish in1946, it marks the first appearance of several main character, such as Snufkin and the Snork Maiden. The English translation, published here in 1951 is a translation of the first version of Jansson's book, which she was later to revise. Rare in this the first English edition. A serviceable copy in an uncommonly vivid and complete dustwrapper which importantly is not price-clipped.
