Death of a Naturalist.

£3,500 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

Loosely inserted is a publisher’s compliments slip, with a typed note on the verso from the Faber poetry editor, Rosemary Goad, saying that she had “… failed to get hold of Seamus Heaney; but I enclose a proof copy. Publication date not yet finally settled but it will probably be around June 2nd, 1966”. Slightly browned overall, otherwise an excellent copy.

• Year: 1966
