Downers illustrations are a charming focus to this enchanting tale that, besides appealing to children everywhere, is set to be one of the biggest literary events of the year.

Product Description:
'Timmy was a paddle-boat, sound as a gong' - but he had been left to rust in the sleepy quays when paddles went out of fashion. Written in the 1950s and only recently rediscovered, Ted Hughes's poem about a tug that escapes his moorings and explores the high seas originally accompanied a story that was conceived and illustrated in watercolours by his friend Jim Downer. Timmy the Tug is presented here in a facsimile of the original manuscript. Age 4+
Review:
Vigorous, witty, and, as in all [Hughes's] subsequent poetry for children, free from the temptation of talking down to his readers.
Hughes fans especially will value this rough-hewn gem
