I don’t think that Tolkein was one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century, but Tove Jansson just might have been; it turns out that she did the illustrations for an early Swedish translation of the Hobbit. I had a quick poke around the Swedish equivalent of Abebooks, but couldn’t find it there. It’s astonishing that no one has republished it, though.
