About

A Child's Christmas by Dylan Thomas and Richard Burton

‘Snow grew overnight on the roofs of the houses’

Dylan Thomas and Richard Burton are icons of twentieth century Wales. They have produced stories about Christmas in Wales that rival Charles Dickens’ short stories about Christmas in nineteenth century England. In some ways  Thomas and Burton can be accused of inventing Christmas in exactly the same way Dickens is responsible for creating the Christmas that we enjoy so wholeheartedly.

For all of that, however, Burton and Thomas were actors whose love of words shines through these two short but heart warming stories.
