Under Milk Wood

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

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...

'A tour de force of oral poetry' GUARDIAN

'I could get drunk just on the sound of the words' SYLVIA PLATH

Under Milk Wood is Dylan Thomas's best-known and best-loved work. A 'play for voices', it 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 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.
