About This Item
London : Robert Holden & Co., (1915 [but 1926]). [Second edition]. The first and most famous of the Doctor Syn novels - the piratical vicar of Dymchurch - rum-running, night-riding and coffins. Thorndike starred in his own touring production of a stage version in the 1920s, produced by his sister - Dame Sybil Thorndike (1882-1976) - who contributes a foreword to the present edition. It was filmed in 1937 with George Arliss, Margaret Lockwood, etc. Crown 8vo (181 x 117mm). 256pp. Bound, without preliminary blanks, in a fine recent half blue morocco, by Bayntun-Riviere; top edge gilt; marbled sides and endleaves; a sprinkling of edge-spots, but a very good copy.
