I can really only give you a taste of Dylan Thomas here but there is a great deal more information available and easily accessible thanks to the internet.Try downloading this BBC App. I have always been cynical about apps, they never seem to work and when they do the content is of no real interest. But this app is really good, and its free. Go to your library and borrow the DVD of Under Milk Wood starring Richard Burton, Liz Taylor and Peter O'Toole, also the audio disc of Richard Burton and others performing the play for radio. Read 'A Child's Christmas in Wales and your mind will be taken back to an age when children played using their imagination and had a more exciting time as a result.
But be careful - you could get hooked!
