this is entirely beautiful; including the guitar in my opinion. a nice ornamentation. beautifully inflected presentation. God Bless You.

Thank you for sharing this classic, which is treasured so far and wide.

@Cassandraberry, the Thomas reading is on You Tube. Search: "Dylan Thomas - A Child's Christmas In Wales (1/2)"

@Cassandraberry I have it on CD. I've always had it and I didn't expect it to be so difficult to find. It's certainly the best version I've heard. (Although my father does a good job of it, too.)

Really? is that where the poem takes place?
Canada is still incredibly British (Welsh whatever) in many ways, we love Dylan Thomas.
-
For sure. I am was born in 1980 and was raised on the movie.
My mom bawls every years when she talks about listening to the original.

Yes! The Dylan Thomas reading of his own poem is INCREDIBLE. Not to knock this one, which is fine, but Thomas's is just perfect. He had an amazing voice.

It must be 30 years ago, that I had an LP of Dylan Thoas reading this. There must be someone out there that has this reading. Somehow, an American accent just doesn't do justice to this. Thomas' own version was so - "dead pan" but it didn't matter: this was Thomas' own rendition of his wonderful Welsh Masterpiece. Please for next year..?

The only bad thing about this is that freakin' guitar. It's sooo unnecessary. You should eliminate it.
