About this listen

This varied, well-chosen selection brings onto one audiobook the best of Dylan Thomas. Here is the legendary recording of "Under Milk Wood", with Richard Burton and Richard Bebb as narrators; but here also are two radio productions he wrote before that great classic, and though interesting in their own right, they show how "Under Milk Wood" grew gradually in his imagination.

This collection includes "Under Milk Wood", "Return Journey to Swansea", and "And death shall ahve no dominion" and other poems. It also includes "Memories of Christmas", "The Peaches", "The Outing", "The Followers", "Do not go gentle into that good night", and other poems.

Thomas was a charismatic if idiosyncratic performer of his own poetry and stories and here is a representative selection.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

Audio problem - file drops out after Under Milkwood

Pretty disappointed. After an amazing rendition of most of Under Milkwood by Dylan Thomas, the Audi file just stops and says is is corrupted. Anything I did didn’t help, tried reloading, marking as finished, nothing worked. Waste of $.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
