TSVETAEVA, Marina Ivanovna (1892-1941). Molodets. Skazka. [The Swain. A Fairytale.] Prague: (Plamia) 1924.

The first edition; an unopened copy in the original wrappers. The Swain is the modernist poet's interpretation of the Russian folk tale 'The Vampire' ('Upyr'). Contemporary critics, including Khodasevich, saw The Swain as a milestone of Russian poetry's experimentation with folkloric themes. It is one of Tsvetaeva's smallest editions, with just 425 copies printed. RBH and ABPC record just one copy having been offered at auction (Sotheby's, 29 March 1976, lot 300); WorldCat locates one copy outside of Russia, at Stanford University. Not in Kilgour.

Octavo (177 x 129mm, with deckle edges). Unopened in the original yellow-brown illustrated wrappers, by N.I., printed in red and black (short tears and light wear at the extremities).
