Bell, Book and Candle: A Play in Three Acts by John Van Druten

FIRST BANTAM PRINTING [1958] BANTAM BOOKS 

Rare movie tie-in paperback!  

Nice reading copy with some wear to cover and tanning.  A bit of chipping to spine. 

The play that influenced both the film starring Kim Novak and James Stewart as well as the classic sitcom, Bewitched....

In the late 1950s, Gillian Holroyd  is a modern-day witch living in New York City's Murray Hill.  When she encounters charming publisher Shepherd Henderson, she decides to make him hers by casting a love spell. Gillian takes added pleasure in doing so because Henderson is engaged to her old college rival (Janice Rule). However, Gillian finds herself actually falling for Shepherd, which poses a problem: She will lose her powers if she falls in love.
