truly". William John Locke (1863-1930) was an author and playwright,
known for his works Ladies in Lavender, The Morals of Marcus
Ordeyne, and The Beloved Vagabond. Locke had
previously graduated with a degree in mathematics and worked as a schoolteacher
and headmaster, all of which he disliked greatly. It was only after he was
stricken with tuberculosis that he began to pursue writing full-time,
publishing a large amount of works before his death in 1930. Several of his
writings were turned into Broadway plays, named The Morals of Marcus
(1907), Idols (1909), and Septimus (1909). Locke also wrote
two original plays, titled The Witch (1910) and The Mountebank
(1923). His works have also been translated into a number of popular films,
most recently Ladies in Lavender in 2004. Multiple folds. Toned.
Slight surface creases. Corners slightly worn. Otherwise, fine
condition.
