About This Item

London: Cape, 1925. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. (London: Jonathan Cape 1925). First UK Edition. Publisher's dull olive-green green boards with gilt lettering to the spine blind-stamped with the Cape logo to the back board. An attractive book-plate to the front past-down otherwise a near fine copy. The D/W is priced 7s 6d net to the inside flap (as called for). The D/W is VG indeed with just the merest hint of fraying at the spine tips. At the top right hand corner of the front panel (adjacent to the front flap) a former owner has injudiciously done an un-necessary tape repair to the verso which has resulted in glue residue (which just shows through to the front side of the D/W). Still an attractive copy of a scarce first edition with NO RESTORATION whatsoever. The basis for the award-winning 1935 RKO movie of the same name directed by John Ford and starring Victor Mclaglen, Heather Angel and Preston Foster which won 4 Oscars (Best Actor in a Leading Role, Best Director, Best Writing - Screenplay and Best Music). Haycraft Queen Cornerstone. Photographs/scans available upon request.

Synopsis

A tale of temptation, betrayal, and reprisal, this powerful novel is set in the aftermath of the Irish Civil War. It tells of Gypo Nolan, who informs on a wanted comrade. The source of the Academy Award-winning film directed by John Ford. Preface by Denis Donoghue.
