Product Description

Product Description

A charming account of Dylan Thomas's own childhood and of a Christmas Day in a small Welsh town. This book has become a popular classic and includes illustrations by the award-winning Edward Ardizzone.


About the Author

Dylan Thomas was born in Swansea in October 1914, the son of a senior English master. On leaving school he worked on the South Wales Evening Post before embarking on his literary career in London. Not only a poet, he wrote short stories, film scripts, features and radio plays, the most famous being Under Milk Wood. He died in November 1953, shortly after his thirty-ninth birthday. He is buried in Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, which had become his main home since 1949. Edward Ardizzone was born October 16, 1900 in Haiphong, French Indochina (now Vietnam) and moved to England when he was five years old. He wrote and illustrated the story of Little Tim and the Brave Sea Captain for his own children; Oxford University Press published it in 1935 with great success. This book led to several more in the popular "Tim" series. Ardizzone won the first Kate Greenaway Medal in 1956 for Tim All Alone and was named Commander, Order of British Empire in 1971. He died in 1979.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enchanting , 21 Feb 2009
By C. N. Moore "Wheddons wizard" (Somerset, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have just read this enchanting little book with my six book club friends. I loved Dylan Thomas's perspicacious descriptions of Christmas and took me back to my childhood when we had lots of snow etc. I have read it several times in the last couple of weeks and it still makes me smile with pleasure at Thomas's wonderful use of words. The illustrations are great fun too. It may be a small book but it is magical to read.

1.0 out of 5 stars waste of money, 25 Oct 2008
what a waste,this book is only slightly bigger than 4x3 inches,it has 48 pages .half the page has sketches on them, from previous reviews i thought it would be a great book to read to the children before christmas, to get them in the mood for christmas it is boring and just waffles on with no real story.it didnt make me feel christmassy at all.there are far better books out there.
