SWEET THURSDAY

First UK edition, first printing. Original dark green cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in the Paul Galdone illustrated dustwrapper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the extremities lightly rubbed, the head of the spine with a small area of fading. The contents, with some offsetting to the endpapers, are otherwise clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the rubbed, nicked and creased dustwrapper that has a few short closed tears with associated creasing and two pieces of tape to the underside.

The sequel to Steinbeck's 1945 novel 'Cannery Row'. It was adapted into the 1955 Rodgers and Hammerstein Broadway musical 'Pipe Dream', and elements of 'Sweet Thursday' were incorporated into the 1982 film adaptation of 'Cannery Row', directed by David S. Ward and starring Nick Nolte and Debra Winger.
