AUTHOR: GREENE, Graham
TITLE: The Potting Shed. A Play.
PUBLISHER: London: Heinemann, 1958.
DESCRIPTION: FIRST EDITION PRESENTATION COPY TO HIS MISTRESS. 1 vol., hardbound with the priced DJ, VG/VG. Inscribed to Greene's mistress on the front blank endleaf "After Days & nights of agonizing reappraisal:- To Annette with love The Author!!".
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Prostitutes certainly fascinated Greene throughout his life. He had something like a real love affair with one called "Annette" in the mid-Thirties. He made a point of patronizing the brothels in every foreign country he visited, if only as a nonparticipating observer. But that he indulged this taste at the very onset of his marriage was hardly a good omen for its future.
