JOHNSON, Nunnally

There Ought to Be a Law and Other Stories

First edition. Some soiling to the spine, else very good, lacking the dustwrapper. Inscribed by the author: "To Holger, representing Sweden in a tremendous international friendship with that true blue American, Nunnally. June 20, 1931." The recipient, Holger Cahill, was the National Director of the Federal Art Project, Works Projects Administration (1935 to 1943), - Johnson was either mistaken, or being facetious: Cahill was actually born in Iceland. Author's first book, a collection of short stories. Although known best as the screenwriter of several dozen films, Johnson also directed several good films including The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit and The Three Faces of Eve.
