1928 Lilac Time by Guy Fowler. Hardcover. Measures about 7.5" by 5". 271 pages. Good condition. Has damage on the outside cover.
Own a piece of cinematic and literary history with this 1928 edition of "Lilac Time" by Guy Fowler. This volume is a "Photoplay" edition, a unique type of novelization popular in the early 20th century that was released to coincide with the hit silent film of the same name. The movie, which starred a young Gary Cooper and silent film icon Colleen Moore, was a massive success known for its dramatic World War I aviation scenes and heartbreaking romance.
The story follows a spirited French girl living near the front lines in France who falls for a dashing British aviator stationed at her family's farm. At 271 pages, this hardcover provides a deeper look into the characters and melodrama that captivated 1920s audiences. This edition is particularly collectible for fans of "Jazz Age" literature and early Hollywood history, as it captures the transition period between silent film and "talkies." While this copy shows its journey through time with visible damage to the outer cover, it remains a sturdy and complete survivor of the late 1920s.
This item is vintage, over 90 years old. While it appears to be in good condition, there is the possibility I may have missed a minor detail. In the unlikely event I missed a major flaw I would reach out prior to sending it.
