Stephen Haggard. Preface by Christopher Hassall. First edition. One of only 350 copies. Leeds: The Salamander Press, 1945. Both unclipped dust jacket (in a mylar wrapper) and hardcover are in Very Good+ condition. No writing or markings found in this rare, collectible edition, 36 pp. 

A scarce and highly collectible private press edition of The Unpublished Poems of Stephen Haggard, issued in 1945 by The Salamander Press in Leeds.

Published posthumously following Haggard’s death during World War II, this volume presents a selection of previously unpublished poems, offering insight into the literary voice of a promising writer whose life was tragically cut short. Haggard, also known as a stage and film actor, remains an underappreciated figure in 20th-century literary history.

Copies of this title frequently appear without dust jackets and in lesser condition. This example represents a superior collectible copy, increasingly difficult to source in complete form.

This edition is limited to just 350 copies, making it a desirable item for collectors of modern first editions, private press books, and wartime literature.
