About this Item

FIRST JANSSON EDITION, 10 full-page drawings with numerous smaller drawings throughout text, pp. 308, 8vo, original quarter green cloth with colour-printed Jansson illustration to upper board, backstrip lettered in gilt with very slight lean to spine, some trivial wear at board-corners and gentle fading to border of lower board, a couple of little spots to top edge, bookplate and ownership inscription of Bengdt Sandin to front pastedown, very good. An attractive edition. Given the importance of the Nordic influence on Tolkien's work, there is something reciprocal about the foremost illustrator of the region turning her hand to one of his most enduring works - and the results are delightful. (Hammond & Anderson Swedish C4).
