 Lady Chatterley's Lover has been turned into a television drama |
A rare first edition copy of one of the 20th Century's most controversial novels is to go under the hammer at a Bath auction house. The 1928 copy of D H Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover, just one of 1,000 in that year signed by the author, is expect to raise up to �2,500.
The novel was first printed in Italy because Lawrence realised its erotic nature would cause outrage in the UK.
Bonhams is due to auction the copy at a sale on Monday.
A first edition copy of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, first published in 1932, is also being sold and is expected to raise up to �800.
