Most Beds are Beds for sleeping and resting!

The Bed Book is a series of fanciful poems about different kinds of beds sprinkled with fantasy and escapism by Sylvia Plath, a controversial US poet and writer.
The original British edition of The Bed Book was illustrated by the celebrated and prolific children’s book artist Quentin Blake, best-known for illustrating Roald Dahl’s stories as well as the first Dr. Seuss book.
