Little Clothbound Classics

A new selection of Dylan Thomas’s greatest stories taking us through the landmarks of the year, in an irresistible Little Clothbound Classics edition

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.
