First edition. Red cloth spine lettered in gilt with cloth boards in printed dustwrapper. Inscribed by Hughes for Laurie Lee on the front endpaper, "To Laurie, the new boat finds the olds rocks, Ted Hughes, June 8th 67". A near fine copy in a very good dustwrapper, toned to the spine and a little worn. An exceptional presentation copy, inscribed by Hughes for fellow writer Laurie Lee, author of Cider With Rosie and As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning.

A dynamic collection of poetry and short prose reflecting Hughes’s interest in mythology, nature, and human experience.
