In 1916, at the age of ten, Vernon Watkins entered Swansea Grammar School, before moving to a preparatory school in Sussex the following year, and then to Repton School in 1920, where he remained until 1924. In October 1924 Watkins matriculated at Magdalene College, Cambridge to read modern languages, but \u2018although his academic results at the end of his first year were satisfactory, he found the college a grave disappointment, particularly in its emphasis on language and criticism at the expense of literature. In a heated interview he told the master, A.C. Benson, that his only interest was in writing poetry; when Benson expressed his scorn for this declaration, Watkins immediately left the college\u2019 (ODNB).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watkins\u2019s father found his son employment with Lloyds Bank in Cardiff in the autumn of 1925 and, following a nervous breakdown two years later and his subsequent convalescence, Vernon Watkins transferred to the Lloyds Bank branch in Swansea. Watkins continued to write during the pre-war years and met Dylan Thomas, who became \u2018the most important person in his life\u2019 (ODNB), in 1935.&nbsp;<em>The Ballad of the Mari Lwyd<\/em>&nbsp;was Watkins\u2019s first published collection of poetry and appeared in 1941, after the author had joined the RAF police. Presumably due to his interest in modern languages, Watkins then took up a role with RAF Intelligence at Bletchley Park, where he met Gwendoline Mary Davies, whom he married in London on 2 October 1944 (Dylan Thomas, the groom\u2019s appointed best man, failed to appear at the ceremony). Watkins published further poems in periodicals and a second volume of poems,&nbsp;<em>The Lamp and the Veil<\/em>&nbsp;appeared in 1945.<em>&nbsp;<\/em>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/3179_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/3179_02.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/3179_02-175x300.jpg 175w, https:\/\/www.typeandforme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/3179_02-205x350.jpg 205w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The Lady with the Unicorn<\/em>&nbsp;was Watkins\u2019s third collection and was first published in this edition in October 1948. Dylan Thomas wrote to Watkins on 13 December 1948, \u2018[l]ovely book. Thank you very much. I am reading it from the beginning, some every night, slow &amp; light &amp; lifted. I saw the review in the Times Literary Supplement &amp; liked its praise but not all its detail [&#8230;]. I\u2019ll write again when I\u2019ve read all the (to me) new beautiful poems\u2019 (Dylan Thomas,<em>Letters to Vernon Watkins. Edited with an Introduction by Vernon Watkins&nbsp;<\/em>(New York, 1957), p. 139). Although it was Watkins\u2019s third published collection,&nbsp;<em>The Lady with the Unicorn<\/em>&nbsp;is an uncommon work, possibly due to the postwar paper shortages which significantly affected many British publishers, causing publication dates to be delayed and print-runs reduced.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A number of the poems collected in&nbsp;<em>The Lady with the Unicorn<\/em>&nbsp;had previously appeared in periodicals, and D.A.R.H. Webster, the previous owner of this copy, has inserted ten poems by Watkins, which have been excised from periodical publications. Among these are four which were collected in&nbsp;<em>The Lady with the Unicorn<\/em>: \u2018The Song of the Good Samaritan\u2019, \u2018Ophelia\u2019, \u2018Fidelity to the Dead\u2019, and \u2018Sonnet: Blake\u2019.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u00a337.50<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\">\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;\u00b7<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/shop.typeandforme.com\/product\/vernon-watkins-the-lady-with-the-unicorn-1948-first-edition\/\" style=\"background-color:#003b7a;letter-spacing:0.5px\"><strong>Order this book from the Type &amp;
