Guy Masterson: Dylan Thomas’ A Child’s Christmas in Wales

Welsh-born actor Guy Masterson reads A Child’s Christmas in Wales, one of the most popular works by Welsh writer and poet Dylan Thomas. A Child’s Christmas in Wales, like many of Thomas’ poems, is less a narrative than a collection of descriptive passages intended to invoke a sense of nostalgia in the reader or listener. It was first published in its current form by Harper’s Bazaar in 1950, though a shorter, earlier version called Memories of Christmas was recorded in 1945 for the BBC. There is a post-event reception at 3 p.m.
