NORA JOHNSON

Nora, her father Nunnally
& step-sister Marje Fowler

Born in Hollywood in 1933, Nora Johnson was raised around the
film industry, where her father, writer/director/producer Nunnally
Johnson, was a pivotal creative figure at 20th Century Fox. Nora
Johnson made her publishing debut in 1958 with The World of Henry
Orient; her books include The Two of Us, Uncharted Places, Perfect
Together, Tender Offer and You Can Go Home Again: An Intimate Journey.
She has since established herself as a novelist, biographer and essayist,
and her works include a book about her father entitled Flashback: Nora
Johnson on Nunnally Johnson. Nunnally Johnson collaborated with his
daughter on the screenplay of The World of Henry Orient in 1964.

Book Description

THE WORLD OF HENRY ORIENT by Nora Johnson. Published by Little, Brown and Company, 1958. Stated First Edition. Signed by Nora Johnson. Author's first published book. 214 pp. Measures 5.50 x 8.25. Hardbound with no dust jacket. No writing or tears; slight foxing at top edge of some pages. Black cover with mauve lettering in Very Good/VG+ condition. There is a small crinkle at bottom of spine; book has a slight slant though this is practically unnoticeable. There is a slight discoloration on front free end pages.
Pages have some darkening due to age-toning. Overall, the book is
tight, clean and very much an American literature collectible.

Provenance

This signed THE WORLD OF HENRY ORIENT was acquired by the Seller
at a book sale in South Carolina -- her interest in the book was peaked
by her adoration of the Peter Sellers 1964 film version of Nora Johnson's
first novel, the screenplay for which she co-wrote with her renowned
father Nunnally Johnson.
