Book First Edition Signed
A collection of 9 books from the estate of Bill and Tom Owen. Including: Bill Owen's copies of his own plays, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists and Party for Jeremy, both with quite extensive pencil alterations and corrections in his hand, a copy of Owen's 'The Ragged School' inscribed by Bill in ink to the title page: "To you both Love Dad.", the recipient presumably his son, Tom. There is also an unjacketed first edition of William Inge's Come Back Little Sheba with Bill Owen's name and address neatly written in ink to the front endpaper, and heavily marked up working copies of plays he performed in: Edward Albee's 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf', Bernard Shaw's 'Pygmalion' and a collection of Seven Plays by Eugene O'Neill, several marked up and with some loosely inserted notes. There is also Tom Owen's marked up copy of Terence Rattigan's 'The Browning Version' and a copy of O'Neill's 'The Iceman Cometh' with a loosely inserted postcard to Bill dated July 1979 from someone at the National Theatre. Condition varies, but on the whole the books are well worn with plenty of signs of hard practical use, toning, creasing, rubbing and staining etc, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists has lost its rear cover and the front cover is detached. A fascinating insight into Bill Owen's working life as a playwright and actor prior to achieving wider fame in his long-running role of Compo in Last of the Summer Wine, much of it indicative of his firmly left-wing political views and working class background.
