Лот 155 | Ten plays, all signed
MILNE, A.A. (1882-1956). A group of 10 plays. London and New York: Samuel French, 1921-1926.

A group of ten separate edition plays all signed by Milne, many of which are first editions. Though little known as a dramatist today, A.A. Milne was once considered “one of England’s most successful, prolific, and best-known playwrights,” at times making more income in a week than many could hope to see in a year. Moreover, the positive reception of one of Milne’s earliest plays, Mr. Pim Passes By, as “delicate, delightful, humorous, subtle, tender and clever,” clearly hints at his future success in writing children’s literature. A rare, possibly unique, assemblage. See Ann Thwaite’s A.A. Milne: His Life, 1990.

- Mr. Pim Passes By. London: Samuel French, 1921. French’s Acting Edition 1342.
