Portmanteau Adaptations
BY STUART WALKER
Edited and with an Introduction by
EDWARD HALE BIERSTADT
The third volume of the Portmanteau Series includes three of Stuart Walker's most successful plays which are either adapted from or based on works by other authors. The first is the ever wonderful "Gammer Gurton's Needle", written some hundreds of years ago and now arranged for the use of the modern theater goer. Next comes, "The Birthday of the Infanta" from the poignant story of Oscar Wilde (used also by Alfred Noyes in one of his most effective poems), and last of all the widely popular "Seventeen" from the story of the same name by Booth Tarkington.
