First English edition, translated by Kingsley Hart. Original pictorial boards with orange cloth spine lettered in black. Apart from some light soiling to the spine and a couple of faint blotches of foxing to the pastedown and titlepage, this is an excellent copy free of any old inscriptions or other internal markings. A book in the highly popular Moomin series by Finnish novelist and painter Tove Jansson. It follows the nightmarish adventures of Susanna, the Hemulen, Sniff, Sorry-Ooo and Thingummy & Bob through Moomin Valley.
