Christopher Isherwood – Sally Bowles – First UK Edition [Caberet]
£1,250.00
A first edition, first printing published by The Hogarth Press in 1937. A near fine book with a little wear to the corners. No inscriptions whatsoever. In a very good unclipped dust wrapper which has benefitted from restoration to the spine and now presents well.
Isherwood’s novella based on cabaret singer Jean Ross, republished later in his novel Goodbye Berlin. The character of Bowles would be taken up in other works, including the play and film versions of I Am a Camera (1951 / 1955) and Cabaret (1966 / 1972), and was an influence on other writers’ characters, such as Capote’s Holly Golightly. [Westby & Brown p. 6; Woolmer 411].
