Selected Poetry & Prose

As a child growing up in South Wales, Dylan Thomas was obsessed with words. In adulthood his literary talents and stormy personal life would both shock and captivate his contemporaries. Today, he is considered to be arguably the greatest Welsh poet of all time. This selection of his writings combines Thomas's most beloved poems including ‘And Death Shall Have No Dominion', ‘Fern Hill' and ‘Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night'; his short story collection A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog; and the heart-warming classic tale ‘A Child's Christmas in Wales'. Celebrated for his melodic and deeply emotive style, Thomas's profound portrayal of love, death, memory and the human condition continues to strike a chord with twenty-first century readers.
