The Unicorn and Other Poems 1935-1955.

First edition of this collection of poems by the author of The Gift From the Sea. Octavo, original half cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author in the year of publication, "For Betty and Pitney with my love and thoughts Anne August 1956." Laid in is an autograph postcard signed and entirely in the hand of the author which reads in part, "August 10 1956 Dear Betty and Pitney, I am afraid these must take the place of those many letters I never seem to get written. I mind though, there is so much unsaid always - There is so much unsaid in life. I felt this particularly after the service this spring for E.C.M. where Pitney said so much, so deeply about him and I felt a great deal that I could not express...Thank you, Anne." Fine in a near fine dust jacket with light wear. Jacket photograph by Leonard McCombe.
