A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas

A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas

This gem of lyric prose has enchanted both young and old for over half a century and is now a modern classic. Dylan Thomas (1914–1953), one of the greatest poets and storytellers of the twentieth century, captures a child’s-eye view and an adult’s fond memories of a magical time of presents, aunts and uncles, the frozen sea, and in the best of circumstances, newly fallen snow.

"A merrier and more pungent celebration of the season for family reading aloud has not been written in our time" -- The Nation
"Enchanting." -- Chicago Tribune
"Surely this Christmas story ranks among the great experiences of the language." -- Harper’s Magazine
"The language is enchanting and the poetry shines with an unearthly radiance." -- The New York Times

Dylan Thomas, born in Swansea in 1914, is perhaps Wales’ best-known writer, widely considered to be one of the major poets of the 20th century: many of his greatest poems, such as “Fern Hill” and ”’Do not go gentle into that good night”’ are beloved and widely studied. As well as poetry, Dylan Thomas wrote numerous short stories and scripts for film and radio–none more popular than his radio play Under Milk Wood. He led a fascinating and tempestuous life, which ended all too soon in 1953 when he collapsed and died in New York City shortly after his 39th birthday.
