4.0 out of 5 stars Dylan Thomas, 13 Jun 2003

By A Customer

It has always been assumed that Laugharne provided the genesis for Llaregub in Under Milk Wood, but the author, with quiet authority, succeeds in persuading us that the true inspiration is, in fact, New Quay. Dylan and Caitlin lived there for a year during the Second World War, and during that time he became well acquainted both with the area and many of its people. There are bound to be those who will claim that David Thomas makes bold claims in the light of too little evidence and that Llaregub could have been the result of an amalgam of various south-west Wales locations; but it is to the credit of the author's research that I find so many of his conclusions utterly convincing. For example, he suggests that PC Islwyn Williams provided the basis for the lumbering PC Attila Rees in the play. Quite apart from anything else, Dylan would have known Williams, for this venerable officer payed particular attention to unruly behaviour outside local pubs at closing time - and these, of course, were pubs which Dylan used.

Circumstantial evidence of this kind is summoned up throughout the book to support the thrust of the claims being advanced. The now notorious episode when William Killick, an SOE commando, peppered Dylan's bugalow with bullets following a difference of opinion in a pub, is dealt with in some detail and, interestingly, it was PC Islwyn Williams who arrested him.

The Dylan Thomas Trail has all the strengths of the good guide book and is copiously illustrated with both period photographs of people and places, as well as advertisements of the time - a very potent source of nostalgia. The book can be read both as a social history of New Quay during the war and as a popular account of a year in the life of one of the greatest twentieth-century poets. It is an invaluable companion volume to the same author's A Farm, Two Mansions and A Bungalow, published two years ago, and deserves to become a popular success.
