Nice copy of this late Greene whimsy, from the sequence of copies for presentation, with a loosely inserted Typed Letter from Greene (dictated; signed by secretary), 14 January 1976, to Thomas McDade (author of The Annals of Murder), disussing the idea of an inexpensive reprint of Glover-Greene, and conveying this copy of “my play about Raffles which the Royal Shakespeare have been performing”.
