8vo, 4-page leaflet. A very fine copy. First edition of Plath's first "book". In a letter to the publisher, Alan Anderson, dated June 11th, 1960, Plath wrote: "I am writing on my own behalf to say how delighted my husband and I were with the proofs of � A Winter Ship'. I'm sending back the one we like best, with the border round it. We thought we'd like the date, place and press in upright letters, as on the other proof, and my name deleted - as I'll write that on the inside myself, with Christmas greeting too. Would four dozen copies be too much of a burden for you?" The present copy conforms to Plath's stated preferences. According to Anderson, about 60 copies of A Winter Ship were printed.

A Winter Ship is a part of Sylvia Plath’s collection, known for its evocative imagery and introspective expression. This particular collection explores themes of nature, struggle, and personal reflection.
