Every Christmas we take turns reading A Child's Christmas in Wales. We would pass the little book back and forth between us and our daughters. Then we continued with the grands reading their pages as well. Dylan Thomas remains one of my favorite poets, and I never get tired of reading him, always impressed anew at the beauty of his words.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-4630404820972983132021-12-05T02:55:23.139-06:002021-12-05T02:55:23.139-06:00As you say, THE poem associated with Dylan Thomas....As you say, THE poem associated with Dylan Thomas.
