Dylan Thomas' Wales

His poems & stories are full of the sights & sounds of his own life in Wales. Here Laurie revisits the places Thomas knew & loved. Through his poems, stories & letters, & with the help of contemporary illustrations & specially commissioned photos she explores the Welsh towns & countryside that were his home & his inspiration.Laurie, Hilary is the author of 'Dylan Thomas' Wales', published 2001 under ISBN 9780788197246 and ISBN 078819724X.
