Description
A signed 168开奖官方开奖网站查询:first edition, first printing of Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, with handwritten letters.
Successfully made into a film starring the legend Albert Finney. Rare Author’s first novel and unbelievably scarce signed. Originally titled ‘The Adventures of Arthur Seaton’, the idea came to Sillitoe when chatting to poet Robert Graves, who in response to Sillitoe’s worries coolly suggested he wrote about the place he knew best – Nottingha🔥m.
The accompanying letters, one of which is with the original envelope, are entirely ꦏwritten in Sillitoe’s hand, and are addressed to a Mr. A. Azzini, who presumably sent the author his ✤book and accompanying request to be signed.
The 🌟enveloped letter (w♌ith accompanying French stamps) reads:
‘St-Pargoire August 1st. 1989.
Dear Mr. Azzini, your letter has been passed on to me here in France – for which many thanks. I s🤡hall be back in England early in October, so if you would contact me again at that time I will sign your book*. I shall be at: 14 Ladbroke Terr London W11 3PG –>
All best wishes,
Alan Sillitoe.
*With appropriate return postage!’.
The author’s ‘S’ in this instance varies from his typi𒊎cal signature and is written with a flourish to the hand.
The second letter reads:
‘14 Ladbroke Terr. London W.11. 3PG,
Dear Mr. Azzini,
I am now back in London so caඣn sign your books whenever you care to send them.
Sincerely,
Alan Sillitoe’.
Shorter than the first, Sillitoe’s signat꧟ure still flourishes.
