Description

The timeless classic story of Dylan Thomas’s childhood Christmas memories, featuring the wonderful artwork of Kate Greenaway medallist, Edward Ardizzone.

All the Christmases roll down toward the two-tongued sea, like a cold and headlong moon bundling down the sky that was our street; and they stop at the rim of the ice-edged, fish-freezing waves, and I plunge my hand in the snow and bring out whatever I can find. . .

Dylan Thomas’s lyrical account of his childhood Christmases in a small Welsh town, featuring wolves, bears, hippos and Mrs Prothero’s cat, has become deservedly famous. Beautifully illustrated by award-winning artist Edward Ardizzone, this classic edition is beloved by fans of Thomas’s work and a perfect Christmas gift for young readers building their own childhood Christmas memories.
