Description

An ideal introduction to the poetry of one of this country’s finest ever poets and featuring a bold new livery in celebration of the Dylan Thomas centenary.

This collection features perhaps Dylan Thomas’ best-known poem, ‘Fern Hill’ – a profoundly melancholic and wistful meditation on former times; set in the idyllic Carmarthenshire dairy farm owned by his aunt and uncle when he was a boy. Another beloved poem ‘Do not go gentle into that good night’ was written by the poet for his dying father, exploring the themes of grief, loss and death.
