Guardian Bookshop Notes:

This is one of Faber's leading titles for the Autumn, and it is a book that will be of great interest to the general reader as well as academics. This selection of his correspondence begins when Hughes was 17, and documents the course of his eventful, peripatetic, resolutely private but at times publicly controversial life. Review and feature coverage of this collection will be widespread, and the enduring interest in Ted Hughes and the success of Faber's publication of Eliot's letters would indicate that the audience for this book will be significant.

Publisher's description:

At the outset of his career Ted Hughes described letter writing as 'excellent training for conversation with the world', and he was to become a prolific master of this art which combines writing and talking. This selection documents the course of a life at once resolutely private but intensely attuned to other lives.
