Beschreibung

James Archibald Productions Ltd. 280 x 218mm, folio, pp.[viii] [318]. Copy typescript , printed on rectos only, held by metal clasps between stiff olive grey wrappers (upper wrapper with printed title). Derek Marlowe (1938-1996) was a successful novelist, playwright, screenwriter and painter. The anonymous novel, set in 1906 by Lake Como was first published in book form by Heinemann in 1956. Despite its public acclaim the author committed suicide three years later. Her identity was not revealed until 1986. Gladys Huntington, née Parrish (1887-1959) was born in Philadelphia to a wealthy Quaker family which lived, variously, in New York, Paris, London, Biarritz, Rome, and a villa on Lake Como. She married Constant Huntington of Boston, who had moved to London to open the London office of the publisher Putnam's; the couple lived in Hyde Park Gardens, where their daughter Alfreda was born in 1922, and later at Amberley House in Sussex. A radio abridgement of the novel in fifteen episodes was made by Ba Mason for BBC's 'Woman's Hour' in 1969, and in 2012 a French adaptation was written and directed for the cinema by Louis Féret. This unpublished version from 1970 appears to be the only stage adaptation, and is not listed online among Marlowe's writings. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 012760
