Publisher's red cloth in cream dust-jackets printed in black and red. With SIGNED presentation note to free endpaper; For Gillian / With Love / from / Graham (underlined). Some light damp-soiling, jacket tanned to spine, price clipped. Given by Graham Greene to one of his closest friends. Greene maintained a deep, multi-layered friendship with John and Gillian Sutro that spanned more than forty years, blending playful social lives, cinematic collaborations, and profound personal confidences. Greene's relationship with Gillian was uniquely affectionate and highly personal, though strictly platonic. Greene once famously admitted to John, "The only thing I envy John is Gillian". In their later years, the Sutros lived near Greene on the Côte d'Azur in France, cementing their daily presence in his life. The Bodleian Library in Oxford houses a massive, dedicated archive of personal correspondence between Greene and the Sutros dating from 1953 to 1989. An eminently suitable gift, Greene himself had edited works for The Bodley Head series, such as the multi-volume collection of Ford Madox Ford. Greene's nephew Graham C. Greene later became co-chairman of Bodley Head. Signed. …
