JULY 2019 UPDATE: The Sylvia Plath short story, while not previously published, has been publicly accessible since 1977 at Indiana University's Lilly Library.
In just a few months, the world will have the chance to read a previously unpublished Sylvia Plath short story.
Written when she was just twenty, “Mary Ventura and the Ninth Kingdom” describes a fateful train journey and will be published in January.
It’s among the releases set to celebrate publisher Faber’s ninetieth anniversary, including the dog-centric sequel to T.S. Eliot’s Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats.
