Still, there are some glorious illustrations by Joe McLaren that really add to the mood of the story and help this be such a lovely creation. I have mixed feelings about Hughes, having always been a Plath fan, but he does have great skill and style when writing. It's just a shame that he chose to leave this story in this way. As an object of bookshelf delight, it's worth buying, but personally I feel that story-wise you should probably just get it from the library first and see how you feel.
Further reading suggestion: Another Hughes classic, that is a really superb story: [[The Iron Man by Ted Hughes|The Iron Man]]. From the same stable, have a look at [[The Children of Green Knowe and The River at Green Knowe by Lucy M Boston]].
