About this Item

HARDBACK - A very good or better book bound in the publisher's black cloth boards with bright gilt lettering to the spine. There is very minor pushing to the base of the spine, but aside from this, the boards are very clean indeed. There is mild foxing to the page blocks, internally the inner text is clean with no signs of foxing. Signed by Ted Hughes to the front free end-paper. Additionally signed by Frieda Hughes to the top corner of the same page. Frieda Hughes is the daughter and the eldest of two children from the marriage of the author Ted Hughes and the poet/author Sylvia Plath. The dust wrapper is also in very good or better condition. There is light rubbing to the spine tips with light soiling to the extremities. Aside from the rubbing, the dust wrapper is in very nice overall condition, free of any tears or loss, with the publisher's printed price of 18s.net present to the front flap fold. A very scarce title to acquire with an estimated print run of less than 2000 copies. A quite lovely association copy, belonging to the daughter of the author Victoria Lucas aka Sylvia Plath. Sylvia Plath sadly died only weeks after the books UK publication in 1963.
