Dylan Thomas wrote "A Child's Christmas in Wales" in 1955, in which he recreated the atmosphere of Christmas Past as he remembered it. Each one of us will have similar memories of the glitter and the emotions of this time of innocence, plenty, fun, anticipation, and excitement.©2007 Naxos Rights International (P)2007 Naxos Rights International Genre Fiction Holidays Literary Fiction World Literature

Enjoyable to travel along with this child’s memories of Christmas. My experiences were similar and pleasant to remember. Only issue with this version of the story was the narrator spoke so rapidly that, coupled with the Welsh accent, I found it difficult to catch everything he said.

Memory-provoking

Timeless classic worth a listen ar Christmas or any time. Dylan was a masterful descriptive writer.

Wonderful Christmas Story

The narrator doesn't do a bad job, BUT HE IS NOT DYLAN THOMAS. Only Thomas can give his work a deeper understanding of the wonderful words. Of course in may be Thomas' accent.

The reader charges through at high speed, often dropping his voice too low and becoming almost inaudible.

Great poem. Poor performance.

Would you try another book from Dylan Thomas and/or Philip Madoc?

Yes. The unabridged version. And I would also like to try, Under Milkwood.

If you’ve listened to books by Dylan Thomas before, how does this one compare?

First time listener.

Have you listened to any of Philip Madoc’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

Could you see A Child's Christmas in Wales (from the Naxos Audiobook 'A Family Christmas') being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

It already has been made into a movie, very good.

Any additional comments?

The longer version is much better. But this one is excellent for the price.

I liked both the story and narration, not to mention the author. This is a unique story and not one of the same repetetive ones, that although near and dear, are like a broken record.

ENJOYABLE TALE...

A very abridged version of the original. I have heard much better renditions of the WHOLE story.
