Birthday Letters by Ted Hughes (Hardcover, 1998)

Faber and Faber

Ted Hughes's Birthday Letters are addressed, with just two exceptions, to Sylvia Plath, the American poet to whom he was married. They were written over a period of more than twenty-five years, the first a few years after her suicide in 1963, and represent Ted Hughes's only account of his relationship with Plath and of the psychological drama that led both to the writing of her greatest poems and to her death. The book became an instant bestseller on its publication in 1998 and won the Forward Prize for Poetry in the same year.\n\nWe are sure that you will be delighted with your purchase.\n\nHowever, in the event that an issue may arise, please do not hesitate to contact us before leaving negative feedback, as we will always look to resolve any issues for you.\n\nAs the items we sell are in a used condition, we pride ourselves on grading them as accurately as possible.\n\nAs an added quality check, we photograph all of our items, AND THE ITEM YOU SEE IN THE PHOTOGRAPH IS THE ITEM THA.
