First edition of the French translation, one of the 10 numbered copies on Holland paper, only leading copies. Some small foxing on some leaves at their margins. Nice copy at all margins. Our copy is enriched, on the entire page of the title, an original watercolor signed by Georges Tisset depicting a forest scene in which Nils Holgersson is preparing to start his wonderful journey perched on the back of a goose on the point to fly away.
