Birthday Letters by Ted Hughes
(Published by Faber and Faber Ltd)
Winner of numerous literary awards, 'Birthday Letters' is worth reading for the
insight into his relationship with Sylvia Plath. Hughes' writing is elegant and
measured but there is an underlying arrogance in his viewpoint and style. It
has its moments though - 'St. Botolph's' gives a wonderful account of his first
encounter with Plath.
