Octavo navy blue cloth hardcover gilt letters 94 pp. Very Good with very light speckling to covers; in a Fair dust jacket with edgewear that includes chipping. From dust jacket: This completed version of The Sad Shepherd is a notable addition to the scarse literature of the outdoor theatre and recommends itself alike to dramatic groups seeking material for outdoor performance and to individual readers of such plays as well as to all lovers of Ben Jonson. The skill with which the late Alan Porter completed the script of which Jonson had written little more than half when he died is attested by the.comments made by the New York Herald Tribune critic when the finished comedy was performed in the Vassar outdoor theatre. The John Day Company, (1944). First Edition. hardcover books
