First thus, the revised edition (Sweden). Printed in the original Swedish language. pp. 156, pictorial boards without dustjacket as issued, illustrated throughout with vingnettes and half/full page illustrations by the author.
Surface wear along the edges of the boards/corners and a few minor scrapes to the surface of the upper cover. A couple of minor marks to the lower cover (ink) The block is reasonably fresh and not browned but there are small, single stains to the margins of four of the pages (text/drawings not affected).
Signed in blue ink by Tove Jansson directly to the top right corner of the half-title, uncommon thus.
