About this Item
First Printing of the first UK edition. Printed in English. Hardcover in dustjacket, pp.159. A somewhat quirky novel by the creator of the Moomins, this was her first attempt at purely adult fiction. Set in a Florida retirement community it is indeed a long way from Moominvalley but the novel was well-received which must have pleased her greatly. A Near Fine copy, the binding is firm and square with just minor pushing to spine tips and corners slightly bumped/swollen. Free from owner names. The block is reasonably fresh still and free from foxing/spotting etc. The dustjacket is unclipped with price of £3.50 net at the front flap. Corners rubbed with small loss of laminate and at the crown there is small tear and chip at the joint with the rear panel. Signed and inscribed at the title page on the occasion of the Artists' Peace Train in Finland, 1982. Seller Inventory # 1901200807
