A Patriot for Me.

Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper to the actor and director Patrick Garland: “To Patrick, with admiration, John”. Loosely inserted are two autograph postcards, signed, dating from May and July 1983, the former discussing a casting issue, with Osborne extending an invitation to lunch in the latter. Slight lean to find, light shelf wear to jacket, a very good copy.

• Year: 1961
