Synopsis "The Bed Book"

From Pulitzer Prize-winning Sylvia Plath, this is the perfect bedtime read, written for her own children, exquisitely illustrated by Cindy Wume in picture book form for the first time.A Tank Bed's got cranksAnd wheels and cogsAnd levers to pullIf you're stuck in bogs.Or a Jet-Propelled BedFor visiting MarsWith mosquito netsFor the shooting stars. Beds come in all shapes and sizes, and need not be boring beds at all...There are submarine beds, for nosing through water like a sardine, beds for fishing, and jet-propelled beds that take you all the way to the stars. The perfect bedtime read, playful and comforting, the poem demonstrates Plath's eye for imagery and arresting language and is exquisitely illustrated in full colour throughout.

Sylvia Plath (Boston, October 27, 1932-London, February 11, 1963) was an American writer and poet. Considered one of the practitioners of the confessional poetry genre, her most famous works are her poetry collections The Colossus and Ariel and her semi-autobiographical novel The Bell Jar, published under the pseudonym "Victoria Lucas" four months before her suicide. She was married to the poet Ted Hughes, who after her death took charge of the editing of her complete poetry. In 1982, she won a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for her Collected Poems.
Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Plath studied at Smith College in Massachusetts and, after receiving a Fulbright Scholarship, at Newnham College in Cambridge.
