Letter to Five Wives [Letter to Three Wives] (First UK Edition)

by John Klempner

  • Used
London: Sampson Low, Marston and Company, 1946. First UK Edition, preceded by the US edition the same year. An extremely scarce edition of this important title, with striking dust jacket artwork.

Basis for the classic 1949 film, "Letter to Three Wives," one of the most sophisticated dramas about women of its day, directed and written for the screen by Joseph L. Mankiewicz and starring Jeanne Crain, Linda Darnell, Ann Sothern, Kirk Douglas, Paul Douglas, and Barbara Lawrence.

About Very Good in a Very Good dust jacket. Some odd indentation to the soft spine as a result of overstamping in production, right at the application of the gilt titles for "FIVE WIVES," otherwise book is lightly rubbed at the extremities and quite clean. Jacket is rubbed and a bit nicked at the extremities, with light soil to the rear panel. A very presentable copy overall.
