Remains of Elmet
Author(s): Ted Hughes
The Calder valley, west of Halifax, was the last ditch of Elmet, the last British Celtic kingdom to fall to the Angles. For centuries it was considered a more or less uninhabitable wilderness, a notorious refuge for criminals, a hide-out for refugees. This title celebrates this area where the author spent his early childhood.
