DIANE OF THE GREEN VAN By Leona Dalrymple Chicago: Reilly Britton, (1914). First edition. Enhanced with four color illustrations by Reginald Birch. This title was the $10,000 first prize winner of the novel contest held by Reilly Britton. It became an instant best seller and was the source for the, now lost, then very successful silent film of the same name, directed by Wallace Worsley and featuring Fairbanks' star actress, Alma Rubens. A Ruritanian romance, this high-adventure plot involves an heiress traveling along the European coast, camping in a caravan, and using numerous disguises. Throw a missing document, and mystery into the mix to complete the package inducing the reader to delightfully turn pages. Dalrymple wrote two successful plays, numerous short stories and seven novels. Mild milky spotting to covers, minor foxing to the outer page edges, else very good in un-faded green cloth with bright gilt embossed titles bordered by a ring of blind-embossed floral decor to the front cover, and with bright gilt embossed titles, rules and a gilt tooled leaf to the spine; in a fine high quality FACSIMILE dust jacket. The wrap-around art on the dust jacket is absolutely stunning. FREE SHIPPING TO THE USA PLEASE VIEW OUR STORE FOR MORE GREAT FIRST EDITION BOOKS THANKS! Created by Seller's Assistant Basic.
