8vo. Bifold pamphlet in pale blue card wraps, featuring a six-line poem comparing virile rabbits to vegetarians, illustrated by Ralph Steadman. One of 1,000 copies of which the first 100 were numbered and signed by both Lucie- Smith and Steadman. This copy out of series and not numbered, but nevertheless signed 'Olwyn love Ted' on the rear wrap. From the estate of Olwyn Hughes, recently dispersed; while much of her library was damaged as the result of an errant cigarette dropped by Olwyn down the back of her sofa - causing a serious fire – but for a smoky odour this copy has escaped relatively unscathed.

Olwyn Hughes (1928-2016) was a translator, agent and literary executor who had worked in Paris for NATO, Martonplay, and King Peter II of Yugoslavia, among others. After the death of her sister-in-law Sylvia Plath, she returned to England to assist her brother, Ted Hughes, raise his young children, though also took over the management of both his career and Plath's literary estate. While she did have some other clients as a literary agent, including Jean Rhys, much of the rest of her life was dedicated to preserving - and defending - both Plath and Hughes.
