Jansson’s illustrations were reused in one of the annual Tolkien calendars. I kept it on my wall for years, changing the month every so often. So… 13 illustrations reprinted

Here are some book covers:

The article seems to be more of a review of the new book than any attempt to actually discuss the topic.
