Who live our lives under Milk Wood
And Thou, I know, wilt be the first
To see our best side, not our worst.
In this enchanting illustrated adaptation, Cerys Matthews brings Dylan Thomas's beloved classic to new life. This is a bedtime story like no other; a book to be treasured by many generations; a book for babies and old men alike, for all that are young at heart.
Welcome to the small seaside town of Llareggub.
Here you will find dreamers, workers, singers, sinners, the young, old, blue, bold and a mix of all inbetween.
Here you will meet Captain Cat and Rosie Probert, Mr Organ Morgan and Mrs Ogmore-Pritchard, Nogood
Boyo, Mog and Myfanwy.
Here you will watch a day in their lives play out - from a dark, moonless night to a morning that is busy as bees; from a sunny, slow lulling afternoon to a deep, drifting dusk.
So, to begin at the beginning . . .
Dylan Thomas (Author) Dylan Thomas, born in Swansea, Wales, is one of the best-loved poets of the 20th century. He began work on Under Milk Wood, his 'play for voices' when he was just a teenager and finished it soon before his untimely death. This text and these characters are beloved across the world. Cerys Matthews (Author) Cerys Matthews is a musician, author and broadcaster born in Wales. Cerys's own children inspired this book, when she saw that they were tickled pink by Thomas's words, by dialogue like: 'I want to be a Good Boyo, but nobody'll let me', 'Pigs can't read, my dear' . . . 'I know one who can' and 'What'll you have?' . . . 'TOO MUCH!'' Her children wanted to know more, and so this book was born. Kate Evans (Illustrator) Kate Evans is an illustrator and painter, living in Bristol. Legend has it that Kate's grandad, a miner's son from the Rhondda Valley, once crossed paths with Dylan Thomas in a pub.
