具体描述
Ted Hughes's first children's book. It is dedicated to Frieda, Sylvia's and Ted's then newly born daughter. It is a book of heavily-rhyming poems in which Hughes describes imagined family members. Over the years Meet My Folks! has undergone revision in that poems where added to and dropped from it. Thus, the first American edition has the additional poems »My Uncle Mick«, »My Aunt Flo«, »My Granny« and »My Own True Family« while »My Grandpa« and »Grandma« have been dropped. The Faber paperback edition has the additional poem »My Fairy Grandmother«.
作者简介
Ted Hughes was born on 17 August 1930 in Mytholmroyd, a small mill town in West Yorkshire. His father made portable wooden buildings. The family moved to Mexborough, a coal-mining town in South Yorkshire, when Hughes was seven. His parents took over a newsagent and tobacconist shop, and eventually he went to the local grammar school.
In 1948 Hughes won an Open Exhibition to Pembroke College, Cambridge. Before going there, he served two years National Service in the Royal Air Force. Between leaving Cambridge and becoming a teacher, he worked at various jobs, finally as a script-reader for Rank at their Pinewood Studios.
In 1956 Hughes married the American poet Sylvia Plath, who died in 1963, and they had two children. He remarried in 1970. He was awarded the OBE in 1977, created Poet Laureate in December 1984 and appointed to the Order of Merit in 1998. He died in October 1998.
