This collection opens with ‘A Child’s Christmas in Wales’, a tale which recalls magical days full of family, snowy countryside and the magic of Christmas, inspired by the author’s childhood in Wales.
Thomas revisits his youth, brilliantly evoking his life through boyhood and adolescence to emerge as a young man in a series of vivid, uncompromising stories peopled with finely drawn characters. Then come the poems, carefully chosen and featuring such greats as ‘And death shall have no dominion’, ‘Fern Hill’ and ‘Do not go gently into that good night’.
