Three years later, after the death of Emily Dickinson, her sister Lavinia uncovered the trove of 880 plus manuscript poems that Emily had secreted in a locked box. It was to Todd that she turned for help and Todd subsequently selected and edited three groups of poems which were published in the 1890s. The rest, as they say, is history. Printed wrappers. A fine, unopened copy.
