Philadelphia: New York, Lippincott, 1975
With the author's signed presentation inscription to the front free endpaper, 'To Phillis, with love Maria Von Trapp'. An astounding book in its own right but also famously, the basis for one of the greatest musicals of all time, The Sound of Music. Such intimate presentation copies of any printing of this title are uncommon. We have sadly not identified Phillis.
25th printing; 8vo; presentation copy inscribed by the author; publisher's sage cloth, title to upper board and spine in red, dust-jacket, a little frayed and faded, price-clipped, otherwise very good.
