Description
Helsinki: Holger Schildts förlag,, 1959. Warmly inscribed by the translator First edition in Swedish of Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark, and the first appearance of Tove Jansson's illustrations. Tove Jansson would later provide illustrations for the follow-up translation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland published 1966. This copy is familiarly inscribed by the translator Lars Forrell on the first blank: "Agneta, Arne och deras två små glin av gamle Lasse", ["Agneta, Arne, and their two little sprogs, from old Lasse"], very scarce thus. The Hunting of the Snark was originally published in 1876 by Macmillan & Co. Octavo. Original printed wrappers. Colour illustration to front wrapper, 8 full-page black and white illustrations and occasional illustrations in text. A bright fresh copy, a few small brown marks to front cover, sound, and clean within, very good condition indeed.
