About this product
Product Information
Ted Hughes wrote a series of creation stories for children from the early 1960s through until 1995, and they appear here in one collected volume for the first time. These are mesmerising tales from a master storyteller about the creatures around us - how they came to be the shape that they are, and why they behave as they do. God appears as an artist who is sometimes surprised by his creations. He puts enormous care into fashioning the birds, but simply pulls Newt out of the ground, while Mouse emerges unexpectedly from the dancing mountains. Whale began life growing in God's carrot-patch, and the Hare develops his long ears as he stretches up to listen to the moon's soft whispers.Product Identifiers

Dreamfighter
These are brilliant creation stories, a kind of mixture of Just So Stories and Australian dreamtime stories. Ted Hughes' imagination is amazing. The relationship between god and his mum adds to the humour.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
