Part of Renard’s Christmas Card Classics series, 25% of the RRP of each book sold goes to Three Peas. This year, instead of a Christmas card, why not send a book?
‘One Christmas was so much like another, in those years around the sea-town… that I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six…’
Commissioned for the BBC for radio, Dylan Thomas’s enchanting tale A Child’s Christmas in Wales takes a nostalgic look at Christmases of yore – idyllic memories of white days and nights. Now considered one of his most enduring works, it has been described as ‘the twentieth-century Christmas Carol’.
In a nutshell, Three Peas is a small charity supporting people who have had to flee war and/or persecution and who are seeking refuge and/or asylum in Europe. They are mostly active in Greece. They financially support a housing programme on Lesvos, a community centre in Sindos near Thessaloniki, a sports centre in Athens and NGOs’ emergency interventions in Thessaloniki, Lesvos and Samos. As well as the above they regularly support food and medical care providers.
The language is enchanting and the poetry shines with an unearthly radiance.
Orville Prescott New York Times
Surely this Christmas story ranks among the great experiences of the language.
