Synopsis

Dylan Thomas shares his childhood memories of Christmas in Wales with us. He tells of the snow that "came shawling out of the ground and swam and drifted out of the arms and hands and bodies of the trees..". He tells of the uncles who came for Christmas, tried out new cigars, and fell asleep. And, he shares childhood memories of throwing snowballs at cats, singing Christmas carols, and receiving mostly useful presents. A Child's Christmas in Wales will awaken memories of adult readers and will encourage them to share their own Christmas memories with a child.
