A CHILD'S CHRISTMAS IN WALES
a story by Dylan Thomas, read by the poet, himself, in 1952
The timeless classic story of Dylan Thomas's childhood Christmas memories. "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. Beautifully illustrated by award-winning artist Edward Ardizzone, this classic edition is beloved by fans of Thomas's work and a perfect Christmas gift for young readers building their own childhood Christmas memories:

If you get a chance to get the book, do stop and read to your kids. Meantime, here is a YouTube Video (at 54mins) of this wonderful Christmas Tale which I read each year. Hope YOU enjoy.
