Hardcover, pictorial boards without dustjacket as issued, pp. 156. Illustrated throughout with vignettes and half- and full-page illustrations by the author.
Signed in blue ink by Tove Jansson directly to the top right corner of the half-title, uncommon thus.
Comet in Moominland (originally published 1946) is one of the earliest and most popular Moomin titles, following Moomintroll’s quest to avert a comet threatening Moominvalley.
Condition: Surface wear along the edges of the boards and corners; a few minor scrapes to the upper cover surface; a couple of minor ink marks to the lower cover. Text block reasonably fresh and not browned; small single stains to the margins of four pages (text and drawings unaffected). Very Good.
