A highly desirable first edition of Alec Guinness’s autobiography Blessing in Disguise, published by Hamish Hamilton, London, 1985. This copy is in very good condition, with the original dust jacket also in very good condition. A significant piece of 20th-century cultural history from one of Britain’s most beloved actors.
Sir Alec Guinness (1914–2000) was a towering figure of stage and screen. His career spanned Shakespeare at the Old Vic, collaborations with David Lean (The Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago), and his unforgettable turn as Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars. Blessing in Disguise offers a witty, candid, and elegantly written memoir of his life in theatre and film, his friendships, his faith, and his reflections on celebrity.
The book reveals not only the craft of an actor of rare range but also the personality of a man who combined humility with quiet brilliance. First editions of Guinness’s memoirs are increasingly collectible, particularly in such well-preserved condition.
