Stockholm: Raben & Sjorgen, 1959. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. Fair/Fair. Jansson, Tove. Printed in the Swedish language. Original card wrappers in dustjacket. Something of a rarity, this book about Swedish literature of the1950's features a cover illustration by Tove Jansson, including a small Moomins-like figure. The book itself is a reading copy only with previous-owner ink underlining in the text. Owner-name and date to half-title.The dustjacket, which duplicates the cover illustration is chipped and soiled around the edges but the front cover is clean and bright. Absolutely for the Tove Jansson completist only but a fun and rare item.
