this is a wonderful story, i have the video, am now ordering the dvd, it is just a great and warm story that all families will enjoy, year after year, it will become a family classic
Close your eyes and listen. If you are familiar with the Poem, "A Child's Christmas in Wales", but have never heard it read by the author, Dylan Thomas, you must get this CD. His voice and inflection will transport you to a time long ago in Wales.
It really sounds as if this was made in a different era. It is a unique experience listening to Thomas' voice, but a little difficult to listen to. I don't think Thomas would be hired today to read aloud on a CD.
Truly a beautiful recording of the other poems as well. A Child's Christmas In Wales CD: And Five Poems Hurrah. Now I won't have to wait for the radio to play Dylan Thomas reading his wonderful Child's Christmas every Christmas.
He recounts a holiday of simple, family and neighborhood doings, and paints a picture of snowy, seaside Wales of the 1920's. This reading of A Child's Christmas in Wales is tops. It wouldn't be Christmas for us without hearing Dylan Thomas tell his story.
