Jacques Crépineau had a photograph of Pagnol and his family dedicated by the latter bound in the first volume: "For Jean and Charlotte, from // Marcel and Jacqueline. // Marcel // 1947", and an autograph manuscript by the author, 1 1/4 page in-8, entitled Chapître and starting as follows: "She went back home, pensive, under an overpowering sun, to the song of cicadas..."
In the second volume, he had six pages of Pagnol's autograph notes added, and in the last one, a copy of Pagnol's family thank-you card following the author's funeral, as well as a color reproduction of a photograph of Pagnol in academician's dress followed by a copy of his reception speech at the Académie française on March 27th, 1947, published by Fasquelle in 1947, bearing this dedication: "to Jacques // Crépineau, // my academic debut // very cordially // Marcel Pagnol // 1967".
Good copy, very well preserved.
