In print for over forty years, this gem of lyric prose has enchanted both young and old and is now a modern classic. The classic "little blue edition" with matching mailing envelope to send as a holiday gift. Dylan Thomas, one of the greatest poets and storytellers of the twentieth century, captures a child's-eye view, and an adult's fond remembrance, of a magical time of presents, aunts and uncles, the frozen sea, and, in the best of circumstances, newly fallen snow--its wonder, silence, and snowball mischief. This edition published by New Directions is the most popular format of "A Child's Christmas in Wales"--a booklet size that can be mailed in an accompanying envelope.
