About the Author
Hughes enters the timeless world of folklore and fable, making stories from familiar elements (the Nativity, or a quest to save a sickening king), but approaching them from unexpected angles. What characterises the pieces is the energy Hughes generates not only in the unfolding action but in the drama of the language itself, which is as robustly up-to-date as it is lyrical.
