Synopsis: "When God made a creature, he first of all shaped it in clay. Then he baked it...and, when it was cool, breathed life into it.

The first volume of Ted Hughes's creation stories describes how many of the animals of the world were formed and became the creatures we know and recognise today. Some, such as the whale, grew in a way that surprised even God, while others, such as the tortoise, changed quite dramatically when the finishing touches were added!

The bee, the hare, the donkey and the hyena all have their own stories to tell in theis magical collection of tales from the Poet Laureate."
