CARROLL, Lewis. Alice I Underlandet. I översättning av Åke Runnquist med illustrationer av Tove Jansson. Stockholm: Albert Bonniers förlag [1966]. 8vo, 112pp. Brown cloth pictorially stamped in gold. Light green endpapers; 1 full-page color illustration, 10 smaller color illustrations, and numerous line drawings. A fine copy in original color pictorial dust jacket (very faint evidence of price sticker removal from bottom of rear panel). With a bookplate signed by the artist, Tove Jansson, laid in!

First Jansson-illustrated edition. The beloved creator of the Moomins’ delightful version of Lewis Carroll’s classic, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. The surreal beauty of Jansson’s line-drawings and magnificent color illustrations is the perfect pairing for the strange and magical world down the rabbit hole! By far the nicest copy of this book that we’ve ever seen!

Stella ★★★★★

I’d been hunting for a Swedish edition of Alice with Tove Jansson’s drawings for ages—the brown cloth cover with that gold stamping is even lovelier in person. The illustrations add a whole new layer of whimsy to the story.

Natalie ★★★★★

The gold stamping on the brown cloth cover is even more striking in person, and Tove Jansson's illustrations perfectly capture the dreamlike tone of this classic. I'm so glad I finally found a 1966 Swedish edition with such lovely binding and page quality.

Brian ★★★★★

The translation by Åke Runnquist flows beautifully, and Tove Jansson's illustrations add a wonderfully whimsical touch to the story. It’s a lovely vintage edition with the gold-stamped cover still looking sharp after all these years.
