News at Eleven: A collection of 44 drawings by the poet

Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) ever previously exhibited in this country go on show at the Mayor Gallery in London tomorrow.

The sketches were given to Plath's daughter, the artist Frieda Hughes, by her poet father and Plath's former husband Ted before he died.

The drawings date from 1955, the year Plath graduated from Smiths College, Massachusetts and won a Fulbright scholarship to Newham College, Cambridge, in England, where she was to meet and marry Hughes.
