This series of Dylan Thomas’s work, beautifully designed in handsome new livery, seeks to introduce a new generation of readers to the great writer’s work.

Under Milk Wood

‘To begin at the beginning: It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black, the cobblestreets silent…’

Commissioned for the BBC for radio, Dylan Thomas’s masterpiece, Under Milk Wood, is set in the fictional Welsh seaside village of Llareggub one spring day. An extraordinary cast of beautifully penned portraits come together, mingling dreams with reality, to give a now immortal depiction of the intertwined lives of a small Welsh community.

The work of Dylan Thomas is widely regarded as being amongst the greatest of the Modern period, and his ‘play for voices’, Under Milk Wood, is one of the best-loved works in the literary canon.

Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night

The poetry of Dylan Thomas has long been heralded as amongst the greatest of the Modern period, and along with his play, Under Milk Wood, his books are amongst the best-loved works in the literary canon.

This new selection of his poetry contains all of his best-loved verse – including ‘I See the Boys of Summer’, ‘And Death Shall Have No Dominion’, ‘The Hand that Signed the Paper’ and, of course, ‘Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night’ – as well as some of his lesser-known lyrical pieces, and aims to show the great poet in a new light.

Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog

The poetry of Dylan Thomas has long been heralded as amongst the greatest of the Modern period, and along with his play, Under Milk Wood, his books are amongst the best-loved works in the literary canon.

First published in 1940, at the height of his fame, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog is a collection of short autobiographical stories that paint fascinating and humorous portraits of life in rural Wales, and pre-empt characters and traits that echo throughout his later work. Now rightly considered one of the most important volumes in his oeuvre, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog is the key to unlocking the great poet’s work.
