A Childs Christmas In Wales CD : And Five Poems

This second edition of Thomas magical tale is lavishly illustration with old-fashioned, scratchboard-like engravings by Fritz Eichenberg. Dylan Thomas was born in Swansea, Wales in 1914. He began writing poetry at a very young age and published his first book, 18 Poems at twenty. From 1943 until his death he broadcasted his own radio talk program on BBC. He read poetry selections, participated in table discussions, and read dramas and essays. His voice became familiar with Americans in the 1950s during his lecture tours at American universities. He had achieved an admirable audience for his poetry. Besides this book and his poetry his other most widely read works are Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog, Quite Early One Morning and his play, Under Milk Wood.

A Childs Christmas in Wales is Thomas most fine work of art-with its human quality, touching sentiment, easily understood presentation and child-like wisdom that gives Dickens A Christmas Carol a second glance at holiday tradition. After all we can all find a child in Christmas in all of us.
