First edition, first impression (Faber & Faber, 1982). Signed, inscribed and dated by Ted Hughes to the front endpaper to Harold Wilson, former Prime Minister of the UK and his wife and poet, Mary Wilson: 'For Mary and Harold Wilson with my best wishes Ted Hughes 4th February 1985'.

Publisher's original yellow cloth with gold lettering to spine. Slightest hint of compression to spine foot, fine otherwise in a near fine dust jacket with a little fading and a few inconspicuous and superficial scuff marks to spine panel.

A fantastic and rare inscribed copy with a very interesting and unique association.
