Lill-Olle och Harpalten
14: Taidekorttikeskus, 1941. Tove Jansson. 1st Edition. Softcover. Discover a rare gem of a children’s book, brought to life with Tove Jansson’s charming illustrations for Brita Hiort af Ornäs’s story of little Lill-Olle and Harpalten.

The publisher is Taidekorttikeskus, the same publisher as with an other rare Jansson book: Bröderna Borgs bedrifter. Book is printed in Helsinki by Helsingin Uusi Kirjapaino (Helsinki New Printing House), and the book is presented in a stapled / booklet format.
Text in Swedish. 10 pp. The cover has gotten a bit dirty with age, but the pages are clean and intact, with a previous owner’s ex-libris inside the front cover. Item #7896
