A Child’s Christmas in Wales
£12.99
All the Christmases roll down toward the two-tongued sea, like a cold and headlong moon bundling down the sky that was our street; and they stop at the rim of the ice-edged, fish-freezing waves, and I plunge my hand in the snow and bring out whatever I can find. Dylan Thomas’s lyrical account of his childhood Christmases in a small Welsh town, featuring wolves, bears, hippos and Mrs Prothero’s cat, has become deservedly famous.
Out of stock
For a boy growing up in an ordinary town in Wales, summer is ‘always radiant, rainless, lazily rowdy and skyblue’, and it always snows at Christmas. Weaving through the course of a year, this selection of Dylan Thomas’s most evocative and bittersweet stories depicts silent winter mornings by the sea, glorious holidays in the countryside and lovelorn nights in the pub. It ends with ‘A Child’s Christmas in Wales’, perhaps the most beautiful story of the festive season ever written.
