Scope and Contents
This book is printed in vivid colors on Scottish Mellotex paper which has an extremely glossy surface. Ted Hughes was a Poet Laureate of Great Britain in 1984 and the book was produced as a tribute to him on his 65th birthday. The poem deals with his father's love of football; the illustrations are reminiscent of comic strip art. The accompanying print on a dull finish card is a repetition of the poem as an illustrated broadside. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
