About this Item
First and only edition hard back publisher's original navy cloth covers, gilt lettering to the spine and the upper panel. 8vo 8½'' x 6''. ISBN 1899177000. 99 printed pages of text with splendid colour illustrations by the author throughout. A fantasy printed and distributed by a small publisher in Peter's home town of Whitstable in Kent. No. 401 of 500 Limited Edition copies. Peter Cushing's devoted secretary for 34 years, Mrs Joyce Broughton, had a very intelligent daughter who suffered from dyslexia. Joyce showed her the original manuscript of the book, and to their mutual joy, she was able to read and enjoy it. Joyce then began urging Cushing to publish it, having reached over 80, his resistance finally succumbed. The intention was to sign all 500 copies, due to his failing health he managed to sign very few copies and passed away shortly after the book was published. Fine condition book in Fine condition dust wrapper, not priced. Loosely inserted SIGNED typed letter by the author 'Dear Pat, Penny and Tom, This is the only way I can hope to say thank you for your wishes upon my entering the octogenarian stakes! The amount of mail I received around May 26th must've gladdened the hearts of those who watch the G.P.O.' profits, almost as much as mine gladdened by such kind thoughts. If I attempted to deal with each one individually, I'd still be at it by the time I'd have to repeat process because I'm 81! So thank you, thank you, may God's blessing be with you always SIGNED with black fountain 'and for the lasting corrections! Peter Cushing vii. 93'. Dust wrapper protected. Member of the P.B.F.A.
