Forester's beloved African adventure, basis for John Huston's 1951 Oscar-winning film starring Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn and Theodore Bikel in his first film role. Octavo, original cloth. Lengthily signed by actor Theodore Bikel on the front free endpaper, "African Queen was the first film I had a role in. How does one define the feeling? A classic, starring Bogart & Hepburn, directed by John Houston - I was too young to appreciate the awe of it. (If I had, I might have thought that from there it could only go downhill.) As it was, it became a learning experience. It was a also fun. I was glad that this was for me, a stage actor, the introduction to film. Theodore Bikel." Near fine in a near fine dust jacket with light expert restoration. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. An exceptional example.
