Sobre este item
London: William Heinemann Ltd., 1931. First edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Good. Signed and Inscribed on FFEP, in ink, by Coward, with written: "For Constance, With my love, Noel Coward", signed in Coward's distinctive signature. We suspect that the inscription was written to the renowned actress Constance Collier, for whose autobiography Coward wrote a preface two years prior to the publication of this play. (The play was published in 1931 but Coward decided not to have it staged. It was first performed in a prisoner--of-war camp in 1944, and it wasn't professionally staged until long after Coward's death.) 12mo. 19 by 12.5 cm. 83 pp. Condition: light wear to upper spine. Pages age toned. Dust jacket chipped and slightly crinkled, upper edge by and including spine. Toning, and perhaps slight staining, to DJ. Evidence of rusty paper clip on front inside of DJ and first few leaves.
