Summary
To celebrate our beautiful illustrated edition of The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath we have created an accompanying eco-metal pin badge, using artwork from illustrator Beya Rebaï’s drawings of figs from the book’s endpapers.
This pin badge is available exclusively from Faber.
‘I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story . . . I couldn’t make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest.’
Inspired by the famous ‘fig tree’ passage from the novel, Rebaï’s fig artwork uses wax pastels to create a unique, colourful and eye-catching design for our illustrated edition of The Bell Jar, which we’ve adapted for this new metal pin badge.
A perfect gift for fans of Sylvia Plath and Beya Rebaï.
Product Specification
This eco-metal pin badge measures 25mm h x 20mm w x 1.5mm d and is mounted on a designed card. With a butterfly clutch, this pin is made from recycled brass in the UK.
