Metamorphoses is a selection of Michael Longley's Ovidian poems illustrated by his daughter Sarah.

This is my 5th book with Michael and Sarah following on from Sea Asters, The Dipper's Range, Ghetto and Homer's Octopus. 

The colour choices for the cover of the book are prompted by the colouring of Partridges. Partridge are from the genus Perdix and Michael's 'Perdix' is one of the poems featured in the edition.

There are 100 individually numbered copies in the standard edition which is priced at £105 plus P&P

​There are 26 individually lettered copies in the deluxe edition which is presented in a slipcase. The deluxe edition was priced at £150 but all copies have now been sold.

The Presentation Edition is made up of 10 copies for sale numbered in Roman numerals I to X. The book is enclosed in a solander box and comes with a print of Sarah's image for the end of Baucis and Philemon as pictured below. The Presentation Edition is priced at £595 plus p&p.

P&P for the standard and deluxe edition is £5 for the UK, £18 for RoI and £28 for the USA. Other countries will be individually notified.

I've loaded a brief video of the book to YouTube
