Night of the Hunter

New York: Harper and Brothers, 1953. First Edition. INSCRIBED by the author in the year of publication, probably in a bar: "To John Milton / Gentleman and scholar / Wm Shakspear [sic] (Davis Grubb) / Feb 7, 1954."

Basis for the legendary 1955 film directed by Charles Laughton and starring Robert Mitchum and Shelley Winters.

A hint of offsetting to the endpapers, some rubbing to the top and bottom board edges, else Fine and unread in a stunning, Fine dust jacket. Easily the best copy we have ever handled.

The Dark Page II: 1959-1965, p. 86. Barron, Horror Literature 4-130.
