When Frieda Hughes, poet, painter and home repair fanatic, found her marriage close to shattering and her health precarious, she moved to Wales, to a broken down home with a garden of despair. What more could a creative soul want—the garden, three dogs and, oh, yes, that wee chick of a magpie she found on the ground after a wind storm? George. A bird to love or hate (think husband and maybe a neighbor or two) and and an endless source of fascination to Hughes and the reader, as it turns out. What a wonderful tale!
