Item description from seller

First edition, limited issue, 341 of 500 copies numbered copies of Dylan Thomas's unfinished screenplay, illustrated by Leonora Box. The father of the illustrator, Sydney Box, explains in the foreword, "Me and My Bike was written during the autumn of 1948 when Dylan was on contract to Gainsborough Pictures, of which company I was at that time Executive Producer." Thomas explained, "I want to write the first original film operetta, it will be all about a man who loves a bicycle. It covers the whole span of this man's life. He rides penny-farthings, tandems, tricycles, racing bikes - and when he dies at the end, he rides on his bike up a sunbeam straight to heaven, where he's greeted by a heavenly chorus of bicycle bells." Octavo. Illustrated throughout by Leonora Box. Original yellow cloth, spine lettered in gilt, green endpapers with gilt illustrations. With dust jacket. Housed in publisher's slipcase. Bookplate to front endpaper; jacket unclipped, spine toned, crease to middle, nick to foot of spine and head of front wrapper; slipcase rubbed, short closed tear to front foot of opening: a near-fine copy in like jacket.
