Animals of air, land and sea are brilliantly imagined in this perfect introduction for young readers to the work of Ted Hughes. Previously unpublished poems appear with selections from Under the North Star and The Cat and the Cuckoo. Part of Hughes's Collected Animal Poems, The Iron Wolf is for the youngest readers, both to listen to and explore themselves. Chris Riddell's delightful line illustrations add to the journey of discovery.
