Bildhuggarens Dotter (Sculptor's Daughter) - The First Trade Edition

Jansson, Tove

Verlag: Helsinki: Schildts, 1968

Beschreibung

First Edition. The rarest of all Tove Jansson's first editions, the first trade edition of Sculptor's Daughter. As the publisher to whom she submitted her manuscripts Schildts were nervous about this departure from the Moomins series, particularly as the author refused point-blank to illustrate the book. As a small Finnish publishing house which caters only for the Swedish-speaking minority in that country it is likely that no more than 500 copies were printed. In the event, demand exceeded supply and Schildts published a second edition the following year. Incredibly hard-to-find, only the second copy to have passed through our hands in 30 years. A Fine copy in the publisher's 1/4 cloth with handsome marbled boards, pp. 146 with index at the rear. Exceptionally clean with strong gilt titles, no bumping of the extremities, square and tight. The most minor of creasing at the crown. A beautiful copy. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 29022002
