The definitive edition of Dylan Thomas's beloved masterpiece, first published in 1954 and never since out of print
'It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless and bible-black, the cobblestreets silent and the hunched, courters'-and-rabbits' wood limping invisible down to the sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboat-bobbing sea...'
Under Milk Wood is Dylan Thomas's best-known and best-loved work. Completed in 1953 at the very end of his life, this 'play for voices' tells the story of the seaside village of Llareggub over one spring day. We meet curious characters such as Captain Cat, who dreams of his drowned seafellows, and Nogood Boyo, who dreams of nothing at all. Lyrical, funny and moving, Under Milk Wood is a rich modern pastoral, a tapestry of dreams and reality which has captured the imaginations of generations of readers.
This definitive edition of a modern classic includes notes, selected criticism and a chronology of Thomas's life and times alongside an authoritative introduction from Walford Davies.
'We are not wholly bad or good
Who live our lives under Milk Wood...'

Dylan Thomas was born in Swansea on 27 October 1914, the son of a senior English master. On leaving school he worked on the SOUTH WALES EVENING POST before embarking on his literary career in London. Not only a poet, he wrote short stories, film scripts, features and radio plays, the most famous being UNDER MILK WOOD. On 9 November 1953, shortly after his 39th birthday, he collapsed and died in New York City. He is buried in Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, which had become his main home since 1949. In 1982 a memorial stone to commemorate him was unveiled in 'Poets' Corner' in Westminster Abbey. www.discoverdylanthomas.com
