Book Synopsis
Dylan Marlais Thomas was born on 27 October 1914 in the Welsh coastal town of Swansea. He began writing poetry in his teenage years and continued to develop his style and craftmanship by participating in activities such as writing for local and school newspapers, as well as joining debate teams and theatre troupes. Thomas had his first real breakthrough in 1934 when a collection of his poems titled 18 Poems was published by The Sunday Referee. Along with poetry, Thomas had a passion for theatre and filmmaking, and even helped to direct and produce propaganda films during World War II. Thomas also penned a number of plays for radio but his most popular work, Under Milk Wood, wasn't broadcast until after his death. Thomas was just 39 years old when he died of pneumonia on 9 November 1953. Under Milk Wood was first broadcast by the BBC two months later on 25 January 1954 and was enjoyed by critics as well as the general listener.
