Today I am posting the full text of A Child's Christmas in Wales by Dylan Thomas.
Thomas was born in Wales in 1914 and died in 1953. He left a body of work behind him of stories and poetry. Several years ago I began reading this every Christmas...to students, to children, to adults. I had several small paperback versions that have all but disappeared from my library shelves as I have given them all away.
I had attached the full copy of the story in print, but there are also versions on utube in which you can enjoy the strong Welsh voice of Dylan Thomas.
In the meantime, I am leaving the mountains of North Carolina to journey on to Charleston.
Enjoy a cozy read on this rainy day in the Carolinas!
