Description:
Another of the several hundred editions of Alice in Wonderland and featuring yet another artist, Tove Jansson, who contributes yet another form of illustration for the many characters who appear in Alice in Wonderland. She was born in Helsinki in 1914 but wrote in Swedish. Her picture books about the Finn family Moomintroll have been published all over the world. In Sweden, she was awarded the two highest awards in children's literature: the Nils Holgersson Plaque for her writing and the Elsa Beskow Plaque for her illustrations.This Jansson-illustrated "Alice" is seemingly scarce and even without the jacket, commands a good price.
