Dylan Thomas CD Unabridged

About this book

On February 22 1952 Dylan Thomas made his first recording for Caedmon Records A Childs Christmas in Wales and Five Poems. It was the first of many albums Thomas was to record for Caedmon. This recording launched not only Caedmon but the spoken-word industry as well. Here at long last in celebration of 50 years of spoken-word publishing Caedmon presents Dylan Thomas: The Caedmon Collection. This collection includes Thomas poetry: "Fern Hill" and "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night " his prose: Adventures in the Skin Trade and Quite Early One Morning and his final work -- Under Milk Wood a play. The recording of Under Milk Wood included here is the only one in existence with Dylan Thomas in the cast. It owes its remarkable existence to the serendipitous placement of a microphone at center stage minutes before the curtain was raised.
