UNCORRECTED PROOF COPY WITH SIGNED LETTER FROM DAME SYBIL - Sybil Thorndike Casson with a foreword by Dame Sybil

An uncorrected proof copy in good soft back green paper wrappers stamped ‘UNCORRECTED’ to upper. Original dust jacket in fair plus condition, scuffed to edges, spine top and tail, age toned. Text block sound, annotated occasionally in blue biro throughout. ‘Enjoyable, charming and very genuine - even their imperfections. 430 pm 2/10/71’ written to tail of final leaf. Laid in are two letters; the earliest dated January 19th 1965 is from a director of The National Book Trade Provident Association requesting the company of Dame Sybil to say a few words at the upcoming AGM. The reply is dated 21 January 1965, hand signed ‘Sybil Thorndike Casson’ who sends regrets that her schedule is too busy to attend, ‘One has to be extra careful of one’s obligations to management!’.

A unique and interesting copy with provenance to one of the most distinguised actresses of her time.
