First recorded in February of 1952, this remastered recording of Dylan Thomas reading A Child’s Christmas in Wales recalls all of the sights, smells, and sounds of a long-ago Christmas.

Thomas’s wonderful recollection of this holiday in the seaside town of his youth is captured in this vivid performance. Also included are five poems selected and read by Dylan Thomas, including arguably his most well-known Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night.

Includes: A Child’s Christmas in Wales Fern Hill Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night In the White Giant’s Thigh Ballad of the Long-Legged Bait Ceremony After a Fire Raid
