This beautifully illustrated A Child's Christmas in Wales should bring Dylan Thomas's work to a new generation of children. -- President Jimmy Carter

The perfect way to revisit the youthful excitement of Christmas, but with an appreciation that comes only with maturity.

Author Information

The reputation of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas (1914-1953) as one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century has not waned in the fifty years since his death. His work, noted for its lush metaphors, musicality, and playfulness within traditional forms, was largely responsible for modernizing poetic verse. Thomas also wrote captivating short stories, a novella, several screenplays and radio plays, as well as his delightful stage play, Under Milk Wood-all infused with his passion for the English language and his enduring love of Wales.
