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!
