Inscribed, signed and dated by Ingmar Bergman at the front endpaper. Inscription reads (in Swedish), "To (name), with heartfelt greetings from "Ingmar Bergman 19.3.99". Close to the inscription the previous owner/recipient of the book has fixed what looks to be a commemorative Swedish postage stamp featuring an image of Bergman.

Publisher: Förlaget M | Utg. 2019 | Softcover with flaps | 183 p. | This book is brand new. | Language: Svenska --- Information regarding the book: De två huvudkaraktärerna i Den ärliga bedragaren passar inte in i den lilla insnöade skärgårdsby där de bor, omgivna av bybornas elaka skvaller. Anna Aemelin har gjort sig en förmögenhet på barnboksillustrationer. Katri Kling lever ett asketiskt liv tillsammans med sin lillebror och en varglik hund. De två kvinnornas liv sammanflätas i en mörk tvekamp där bådas föreställningar om sig själva ställs på ända. Vem är det egentligen som bedrar vem?När romanen utkom i engelsk översättning år 2009 möttes den av hyllande recensioner. Tove Janssons prosa är glasklar, rak och exakt. | We have this book in our store house - please allow for a couple of extra days for delivery.
