He returns home to find that his wife, Penelope, is entertaining two suitors very unlike himself - a vacuum cleaner salesman and a hippie doctor. To celebrate Harold's birthday in his absence, one of Penelope's suitors bought a cake that had originally been made for a young girl, Wanda June, who was run over by an ice cream truck. At the end of the play, Wanda June and several other deceased people connected to Harold address the audience from heaven. The Vietnam War-influenced play made its off-Broadway debut at the Theatre de Lys in 1970. It was adapted into a 1971 film directed by Mark Robson and starring Rod Steiger and Susannah York as Harold and Penelope. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Dust Jacket Included.

Title: Robert and Urban Nichols, Missing from Cincinnati, Ohio. Thought to Have Been Kidnapped [Antiziganism]
Author: Copelan, William (Chief of Police)
Seller: ZH BOOKS (United States)
Condition: Good
Description: Cincinnati: By the Author, 1912. First Edition. Good. Poster; 12 x 8; beige stock, printed in black and illustrated with a photograph; paper fragile and age-toned; upper two corners clipped; old, horizontal fold line with two thin, closed cuts to edges; residue from a brown paper strip to upper margin of verso; in good to very good condition.A missing poster for two small children from Cincinnati, it gave a detailed description of the two brothers, the time they were last seen (April 29, 1912), and the speculation that "Hungarians" might have picked them up. Hungarian-Slovak gypsies emigrated to the US in the late-19th century, primarily to Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, and New York. They would become well-known for making a living by playing music at cafes and restaurants and for being semi-permanently settled, unlike the other nomadic Romani groups in the country, including the Ludar, the Romanichal, the Black Dutch, etc. Despite that, the general perception of the gypsies' roaming lifestyle and strange and secretive culture gave way to widely-spreading antiziganism. An article in the Greenfield Republican from May 23, 1912, stated that, indeed, Hungarian gypsies had been suspected of kidnapping the boys, as the former had hurriedly left Cincinnati around the time of the disappearances, but ultimately, the children had been found by their father, drowned in a feed-box in a stable.

Title: The Crooked Road
Author: West, Morris L.

Condition: Very Good in Good dj
Description: New York: William Morrow and Company. Very Good in Good dj. 1957. First American Edition. Hardcover. [spine slightly turned, minor bumping to lower corners, a little dust-soiling to top of text block, tiny stain on fore-edge; jacket faded at spine, missing about 1.5" inches from bottom of spine, 2-inch split at lower front flap-fold, several other nicks and small tears]. "An exciting novel about an American newspaperman fighting for his 'big story' in the turbulence of Italian political intrigue," this was West's fourth published novel (the third under his own name). Also published in the U.K. under the title "The Big Story," it preceded his breakthrough best-seller "The Devil's Advocate" by a couple of years. The 1965 film adaptation, starring Robert Ryan and Stewart Granger, although it was a British film, used the American title. The book has been frequently reprinted in paperback under both its titles, but this edition is notably scarce. .
