The Man Born to Be King
Dorothy L. Sayers · Victor Gollancz · 1943
The Gollancz 1943 edition is the true first printing of the collected play-cycle. The plays were first broadcast by the BBC (produced by Val Gielgud) between December 1941 and October 1942, so the broadcasts preceded the book, but the 1943 volume is the first published edition of the texts.
