Celebrating 70 years, this is the timeless classic story of Dylan Thomas's childhood Christmas memories, featuring the wonderful artwork of Kate Greenaway medallist, Edward Ardizzone in this beautiful mini hardback edition. 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 celebrates 70 years of Thomas' beloved work and is a perfect Christmas gift for young readers creating their own childhood Christmas memories.

Thomas was a pioneer in modern poetry, blending surrealism with traditional verse forms to create a unique and powerful style. His work often explores themes of life, death, and the passage of time. Thomas's impact on literature can be seen in his influence on later poets and writers, as well as his enduring popularity among readers. His most famous work, "Do not go gentle into that good night," is a poignant meditation on mortality and the will to live. Dylan Thomas's legacy continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
