This delightful rhyming catalogue of desirable beds appears in paperback for the first time. 'Quentin Blake has matched Sylvia Plath's incisive nonsense verses with superbly descriptive drawings, in a book that has the zest and inventiveness, and the wide applicability, of a good family joke.'

Sylvia Plath was an American poet, novelist, and short story writer. Known primarily for her poetry, Plath also wrote a semi-autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar, under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas. The book's protagonist, Esther Greenwood, is a bright, ambitious student at Smith College who begins to experience a mental breakdown while interning for a fashion magazine in New York. The plot parallels Plath's experience interning at Mademoiselle magazine and subsequent mental breakdown and suicide attempt.
