A trio of Graham Greene items: 1) An invitation card to celebrate the first publication of "Night and Day" on June 30, 1937 at the Dorchester Hotel in London. The card is INSCRIBED by GRAHAM GREENE ("I hope you'll happen to be in town for this. I'm literary editing. A kind of English "New Yorker." Graham Greene") The card was sent to English author JOHN HAMPSON and relates to a notorious episode in Greene's career. When Greene ended up reviewing movies for the short-lived publication, he reviewed a Shirley Temple film and suggested that Temple's popularity was primarily due to her prurient appeal to studio moguls. The 9-year-old Temple sued for libel and most accounts suggest that the suit was responsible for the magazine's quick demise. Years later, Temple privately admitted that Greene was more right than he knew. 4.25 x 5.25 inches matted and framed with photo of Greene to overall dimensions of 11.75 x 14.75 inches. 2) An exceptionally nice copy of NIGHT AND DAY, a handsome 1985 hardcover compilation of pieces from the magazine, featuring a preface by Greene.

Book is not signed by Greene. 3) An AUTOGRAPH NOTE SIGNED by GRAHAM GREENE to British read more
