1930586649London: Victor Gollancz 1930. Hardcover. Very Good. First edition. Quarter vellum and cloth covered boards issued without dust jacket. Binding very slightly cocked with the vellum soiled and front cover modestly so corners just worn through small four-line printed bookseller description with annotations laid down onto rear fly a very good copy. The text is fine. A novelization of Sherriff’s play one of 600 numbered copies Signed by both authors. Sherriff had been a young officer during WWI and upon his return to civilian life as an insurance clerk became interested in amateur theater. Journey’s End based on Sherriff’s letters to his family during the war was written as an amateur effort but at the suggestion of a friend he sent it to George Bernard Shaw who helped get it produced. The play a powerful and poignant antiwar story set in the trenches of WWI became a smash stage hit under the direction of James Whale who had himself been a POW. With the advent of talkies stage hits and stage professionals were suddenly in demand and Whale was imported to Hollywood to direct the film version. He followed his debut with several other stylish movies—notably his classic horror films—before retiring from films in 1941. The plot was reworked with an all-star cast in 1976 as Aces High. Sherriff also wrote or co-wrote screenplays for several other important films including The Old Dark House The Invisible Man both directed by Whale The Four Feathers and Odd Man Out.
