Features: "A Child's Christmas in Wales ""Fern Hill ""Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night ""In the White Giant's Thigh ""Ballad of the Long-legged Bait ""Ceremony After a Fire Raid" " There is so much music in his voice that it carries the listener along, enchanted by the sound of the words and the rich imagery." - The New York Times" The long, poetic, autobiographical 'A Child's Christmas in Wales' is, to use a cliche in its exact sense, an unforgettable experience in the listening: surely this Christmas story ranks (in its spoken form, at least) among the great expressions of the language." - Harper's Magazine" He reads his verse and his prose with such melodious power, with such subtly and ardently projected rhythms, that ones feels that, good as it is, his poetry on the printed page is dull in comparison." - The Saturday Review
