Item description from seller

First Edition. A collection of short stories by "the third Hitchcock," Whitfield Cook, originally published in "Redbook" magazine. Rare with or without dust jacket. "Violet" was adapted for Broadway two years later after this book's publication, starring Hitchcock's 16-year-old daughter Patricia (who strongly resembles the girl on the front panel of the jacket), with Alfred in the audience on opening night. Hitchcock's wife Alma also helped with the play's final edits, and the experience helped bolster a working relationship between the Hitchcocks and Cook, who would go on to work together on the screenplays for "Stage Fright" (1950) and "Strangers on a Train" (1951). Near Fine in a Very Good plus dust jacket. Contemporary owner stamp on the front pastedown. Jacket has a two-inch closed tear on the heel.
