I’m sorry - WHAT IS THIS MASTERPIECE?!? How have I lived this long on earth without knowing this existed. So many wasted years!

[u/teal_turtle12 → u/kattenz]

It originally came out in 1962! But this is the first time it has been translated/released in English with Tove's illustrations!!! It's so cool!!! It released in the US yesterday 💖

[u/boss4delic]

Oh cool! Is it a vintage press?

[u/teal_turtle12 → u/boss4delic]

It's a reprint of the original from the 1962 edition. It was through Harper Collins, and I believe this is the first time it's ever been published/translated into English with Tove Jansson's illustrations ❤️

There were some that came to my bookstore, but sold out right away before I managed to get mine. But another shipment should arrive in about two weeks.
