Published by Albert Bonniers in Stockholm in 1959. First printing and first edition of Lewis Carroll’s The Hunting of the Snark with Tove Jansson’s illustrations, published in Swedish as Snarkjakten. First thus.
Softcover, bound in printed illustrated wrappers. 51 pages, with untrimmed edges and illustrations throughout by Jansson.
Good. The front and rear wrappers are noticeably tanned around their margins, without corresponding tanning to the contents. There are a couple of small stains on the lower wrapper. The corners are creased, with some impact damage to the front wrapper near the head of the spine. The contents are clean and free from foxing and previous-owner markings. Not the best copy, but still decent and attractively illustrated.
