In the publisher's original cloth binding, presented in the original, unclipped dust wrapper. Dylan Thomas's dramatic play, written in the form of a film scenario. Adapted from the story by Donald Taylor, this gripping screen play retells the tale of the nineteenth-century murderers Burke and Hare, who famously sourced corpses for anatomical studies. In 1985, the text was made into a film by Freddie Francis and Mel Brooks, featuring a star-studded cast with the likes of Timothy Dalton and Twiggy.  In the publisher's original cloth binding, presented in the original, unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, very smart with minor bumping and rubbing and the odd mark. Dust wrapper features one or two small closed tears to the edges and more visible marking and discolouration to the rear, otherwise a lovely example. Internally, firmly bound. Light creasing affecting the half-title and title pages. Very bright and clean with the odd mark only. Very Good . Ill.: None. Very Good/Very Good Indeed.
