A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas
A holiday classic in an elegant New Directions edition. With lovely poetic lilt, this simple tale captures the child-eye view and an adult's warm remembrance of the time of presents, good things to eat, and, in the best of circumstances, newly-fallen snow-its wonder and its snowball mischief. This elegant and beautifully designed New Directions edition of Thomas's holiday classic features evocative woodcut illustrations by the noted artist Fritz Eichenberg.
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.
