The Good Fairy

First American edition, and the first edition in English. Translated and adapted by Jane Hinton. Fine in a very good or better dustwrapper with some modest soiling and some shallow chipping at the crown, and featuring a Cecil Beaton drawing of Helen Hayes as Lu from the New York stage production. Splendidly adapted by Preston Sturges and filmed by William Wyler in 1935 with Margaret Sullivan, Herbert Marshall as the doctor she pretends is her husband, and Frank Morgan, who steals the show as the millionaire trying to separate them. It was also remade in 1947 as I'll Be Yours with Deanna Durbin. Scarce in jacket.
