By (author): Dylan Thomas

This unique edition presents the complete span of Thomas' short stories, from his urgent hallucinatory visions of the dark forces beneath the surface of Welsh life to the inimitable comedy of his later autobiographical writings.

With PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG DOG and ADVENTURES IN THE SKIN TRADE, Thomas found a new voice for his irreverent memories of lust and bravado in south-west Wales and London, leading to a sequence of classic evocations of childhood magic and the follies of adult life.

The definitive collection of Dylan Thomas' short stories, showing just why he is considered one of the 20th century's finest writers. Also featuring a bold new livery in celebration of the Dylan Thomas centenary.

About Dylan Thomas

Dylan Thomas born in Swansea in 1914 is perhaps Wales' best-known writer and celebrations throughout 2014 will mark the centenary of his birth. He is widely considered to be one of the major poets of the 20th century and many of his greatest poems such as 'Fern Hill' and 'Do not go gentle into that good night' remain among the nation's favourites. As well as poetry Dylan Thomas wrote numerous short stories and scripts for film and radio - none more popular than his radio play UNDER MILK WOOD which is considered by many to be his masterpiece. He led a fascinating and tempestuous life permeated by love affairs and reckless bouts of drinking which led him to claim that he had beast angel and madman within him. There have been several film adaptations of his fascinating life which ended all too soon in 1953 when he collapsed and died in New York shortly after his 39th birthday. A memorial stone commemorating his life and work was unveiled in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey in 1982.www.discoverdylanthomas.com
