Period Drama

First edition; 8vo; monochrome portrait frontispiece signed by Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier, numerous monochrome plates from photographs, mild peripheral spotting to preliminary and terminal leaves, mostly to the plain endpapers; publisher's maroon cloth, slight dust-soiling, pictorial dust-jacket, chipped and creased at extremities, three short, closed tears but in the main, a rare survival.

New impression, inscribed by the author; 8vo; frontispiece and a further 15 illustrations with captioned tissue-guards, the occasional minor mark or spot, hinge split at title but holding, otherwise very good; publisher's quarter cloth over paper-covered boards, worn, with abrasions, red-dot affixed to spine, slight cocking, offsetting to free endpapers, otherwise sound and robust.
