One-of-a-kind Robin Hood novel from the cast of the 1938 adaptation, featuring Flynn, Rathbone, and Rains

Signed book: Robin Hood and His Merry Men. NY: Grosset & Dunlap, 1921. Hardcover, 6.25 x 8.5, 360 pages. Signed inside in fountain pen by the cast of the 1938 swashbuckler film The Adventures of Robin Hood, each including their character’s name: “Errol Flynn, Robin Hood,” “Basil Rathbone (Sir Guy of Gisborne),” “Claude Rains, ‘Prince John,’” and “Una O’Connor (Bess).” Also signed and inscribed on the dedication page, “To Merel, Al Alleborn.” Autographic condition: fine. Book condition: G+/None. Black cloth-covered boards; edges heavily worn, with several tears in cloth; large abrasion to rear lower edge, with cloth and portion of board missing; shelf-cocked; sunning and light insect damage to spine; textblock yellowed; faint smoky smell. The original recipient obtained the signatures on set when Alleborn, a family friend and the unit production manager for the film, took her to visit the studio. An outstanding piece straight from the set of the tremendously popular, Academy Award–winning movie. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
