The dustwrapper is complete with virtually no wear. No tears or chips to the edges. The colour on the spine of the dustwrapper is slightly faded as is common with this title. ***223mm x 140mm. 144 pages. ***Contents: A twenty-three page introduction ("A candid memoir of his own schooldays in the British gulag archipelago") precedes the screenplays for "Good and Bad at Games" (an original script produced by Quintet Films for Channel Four in 1983) and "Dutch Girls" (an original script produced by London Weekend Television and broadcast on ITV in the autumn of 1985). ***'"Good and Bad at Games" is a UK television drama, first shown in the Film on Four strand on Channel 4 Television on 8 December 1983. The story, told partly in flashback to 1968, concerns a clique of English public schoolboys who bully and humiliate an unpopular younger pupil (Cox) who is 'bad at games'. Ten years later Cox uses the naive and equal outsider Niles, who is only included in the clique because he is 'good at games', to find out more about the lead persecutor (Mount), in order to exact revenge. "Dutch Girls" is a 1985 film, released by the London Weekend Television Company, produced by Sue Birtwistle, directed by Giles Foster, and written by William Boyd. The film is about a group of teenage boys who go to the Netherlands to play hockey. On the trip they drink, smoke, and try to have sex with girls. It features several well-known actors who were young at the time - Colin Firth, Timothy Spall, Adrian Lukis and James Wilby. (Wiki) ***A first printing of the true first edition of this collection, published in 1985, complete in the original dustwrapper, in nice collectable condition. This was William Boyd's fifth published book and his first collection of screenplays. It is a very uncommon book. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc. Seller Inventory # 8113x
