Ted Hughes (1930-1998) was born in Yorkshire. His first book, The Hawk in the Rain, was published in 1957 by Faber & Faber and was followed by many volumes of poetry and prose for adults and children. He received the Whitbread Book of the Year for two consecutive years for his last published collections of poetry, Tales from Ovid (1997) and Birthday Letters (1998). He was Poet Laureate from 1984, and in 1998 he was appointed to the Order of Merit.

    Just set Ted Hughes running and close your eyes

    It's like having the poet in the room with you. And what a voice - it reaches right inside you. The sound quality is wonderfully clear, yet so rich.

    The editor's superb selection weaves gently across a wide range, yet it all flows along effortlessly. The ebook itself is elegant simplicity - both in design and usability. And for people who think poetry is difficult, the poet's reading makes it just like a conversation.

    This is already a treasured possession, and I am off now to buy another - Seamus Heaney probably.
