Booth Tarkington; "MONSIEUR BEAUCAIRE"

SOLD

OH MY!!!! 

THIS WAS A GIFT FROM ME,  MARTIN FLAHERTY TO ROCK HUDSON FOR HIS 55TH BIRTHDAY.  I DID NOT SEE IT BEFORE BUT THEN THE OTHER DAY I WAS GOING THROUGH IT AND SAW MY INSCRIPTION TO HIM.  

MADE ME TEAR UP.   

HE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT THIS BOOK, AND SAID THAT IS WHAT HE WANTED FOR HIS BIRTHDAY.  AFTER MUCH SEARCHING,  I FOUND IT IN A STORE IN HOLLYWOOD.  

IT IS A WONDERFUL COPY. (BEST I COULD FIND, EXCELLENT CONDITION)

THE INSCRIPTION I DID WAS IN 1980 AND HAS PERSONAL MEANING BETWEEN ROCK AND MYSELF.     PART OF IT SAY'S TO ROCK, "YOU ARE THE STRAIGHTEST GAY I EVER MET". 

  THE STORY BEHIND THAT IS HE USED TO CALL ME "THE GAYEST STRAIGHT HE HAD EVER MET". 

HE ALWAYS KEPT THIS BOOK CLOSE TO HIM AND WOULD MAKE SURE I SAW THAT.   THIS IS ONE OF THE MANY  GAMES WE WOULD PLAY WITH ONE ANOTHER.   HE GAVE ME A SHIRT THAT I LIKED AND SOMETIMES I WOULD WEAR IT EVERYDAY.  WE WOULD BOTH GET A LAUGH. 

BEING THE YOUNGEST AT THE CASTLE, SINCE I STARTED WORKING THERE AT 15 YEARS OLD, I WOULD BRING OUT THE YOUTHFUL SIDE OF ROCK, PLAYING GAMES LIKE HIDE N` SEEK AND TAG.  

I CAN'T BELIEVE I FOUND THIS!!!
