What is the Truth?: Collected Animal Poems Vol 2

In celebration of our 90th birthday, five beautiful hardback editions of some of Ted Hughes's most popular nature poems - to collect, savour and look at the world anew!

Why is it
The roustabout Rooster, raging at the dawn
Wakes us so early?

A warrior king is on fire!
His armour is all crooked daggers and scimitars
And it''s shivering red-hot – with rage!

First published in 1984, this book of prose-linked animal poems won both the Guardian Children''s Fiction Award and the Signal Poetry Award. This new, illustated edition remains ''a very beautiful book: God and his son go to visit mankind and ask a few simple questions . . . the poems are pure enchantment'' (The School Librarian).
