First edition illustrated by Tove Jansson, thus. Printed in the Swedish language. Original cloth gilt, blocked with a design to the upper board by the artist. Pp. 111, illustrated throughout.
A wonderfully fresh Fine copy of this distinctive edition of Lewis Carroll’s classic, featuring the characteristically bold and unsettling illustrations of Tove Jansson — creator of the Moomins — whose approach to the Alice drawings is strikingly different from her better-known children’s work. The dustjacket is free from the usual shelf wear associated with this edition and is also in Fine condition, without noticeable fault. An uncommon copy in this state.
