A beautiful gift for Christmas, this superb selection of writing, by celebrated Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, opens with his enchanting story A Child’s Christmas in Wales. This classic tale recalls magical days full of family, snowy countryside and the magic of Christmas, inspired by the author’s childhood in Wales.

Thomas also revisits his youth in his series of stories Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog. 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.
