Yeats’ play on sale for £125,000 – thanks to message from the dead

A 1924 seance has solved the mystery surrounding a signed copy of the dramatist's first play

Billed as one of the greatest rarities of English literature", a signed copy of William Butler Yeats's first play, Mosada, is on display this weekend for the first time since 1956 - and its 125,000 price tag is all thanks to a message from beyond the grave.

London dealer Peter Harrington today has the book on sale at the Boston International Antiquarian Book Fair. It was last displayed at Trinity College Dublin 67 years ago.
