About this Item

Hardback with Dust Jacket. 8vo, 1st UK edition, pp. 156. Frontispiece + (7) + pp 156. Features stunning illustrations throughout by Cecil Beaton. Publisher's original yellow cloth with blind stamped decoration in red to front board and red lettering to spine. Dust Jacket is unclipped. Flat signed by Julie Andrews on illustrated frontispiece opposite the title page. Spotting to rear Dust Jacket. Microscopic signs of loss towards top and lower spine of cover. Some ink stains are present on the front cover. Overall Very Good condition. When Pygmalion was adapted as a musical "My Fair Lady", Julie Andrews was the first actor to take on the role of Eliza Doolittle in 1956, in Broadway, New York. This 1st UK edition therefore coincided with the premiere performance in Drury Lane, London two years later. She would of course be infamously rejected for the film version which ultimately starred Audrey Hepburn. This is a significant and rare document for fans of the musical and of Julie Andrews herself. Scarce. Seller Inventory # 037070
