    Description

    Publishers' Original Binding

    Lieutenant-Colonel William Price Drury was the author of a range of plays and novels, many with naval themes. Perhaps his best known play 'The Flag Lieutenant' was filmed three times, twice as a silent film, in 1919 by Percy Nash and in 1926 by Maurice Elvey, and then again for sound in 1932 by Henry Edwards. 'The Further Adventures of the Flag Lieutenant' was also filmed in 1927, after the huge success of Elvey's adaptation. Featuring a prior owner's ink inscription to the front free-endpaper of a 'H. Jackson'.
