London, Faber and Faber Limited, 1998
The collection of poems deals with Hughes' and Plath's relationship from the Poet Laureate's point of view. Birthday Letters contains poems written over a period of twenty years, all but two of which are directed towards Sylvia Plath. Hughes died within a year of publication and perhaps as a consequence inscribed copies of this book are very uncommon and the provenance of this one is unique.
First edition, inscribed to the poet's brother and sister-in law on the front free endpaper; 8vo (225 x 145 mm); publisher's blue cloth, illustrated dust-jacket after a painting by Frieda Hughes (the poet's daughter), very mild rubbing to extremities, otherwise near fine.
