Publisher's note

In print for fifty years, this gem of lyric prose has enchanted both young and old from its very first edition.
Dylan Thomas, one of the greatest poets and storytellers of the twentieth century, captures a child's-eye view, and an adult's fond memories, of a magical time of presents, aunts and uncles, the frozen sea, and in the best of circumstances, newly fallen snow.
"The piece continues to work beautifully, blending the mock heroics of childhood with enduring images of the annual rituals of the season.... The language is enchanting and the poetry shines with an unearthly radiance."--"The New York Times"
"In a voice more alluring than Circe's, Thomas recalls 'All the Christmases that roll down toward the two-tongued sea.'"--"Publishers Weekly"
"Surely this Christmas story ranks among the great experiences of the language."--"Harper's Magazine"
"If you'd rather not gather your holiday eve around the TV, then build a fire and try a new tradition fixed back in Wales.... How he laced so many lines with perfect imagery is beyond me...this book is a holiday pearl."--"The Bloomsbury Review"
"This is a story to stir one's own emotions, with recollections perhaps untapped since childhood."--"Baltimore Evening Sun"BR>
"Try it for a break from violent robots."--"The Providence Journal-Bulletin"
