London, Michael Joseph, (1944). Cary's most famous book, the third volume of his "First Trilogy." Signed by the author on the title page and inscribed by him on the front fly: "With the Author's best wishes Oct. 55." Basis for the 1958 Ronald Neame-directed film featuring Alec Guinness and Kay Walsh, for which Guinness wrote the screenplay and was nominated for an Oscar and a BAFTA for his work. Fine in a fine dust jacket. An absolutely beautiful copy of this fragile wartime volume, by far the author's best-known work. From the collection of Bruce Kahn.   [#911025] SOLD
