Cuentos completos

Ranging chronologically from the dark and almost surreal tales of his youth to such gloriously noisy celebrations of life as "Children's Christmas in Wales" and "In Another Skin," this compilation of all of Dylan Thomas' short stories traces the progress of the so-called Cwmdonkin Drive's Rimbaud towards his mastery of comic language. Here too are stories originally written for radio and television and, in a short appendix, the youth pieces first published in Swansea Grammar School Magazine. A highlight of the collection is "Portrait of the Puppy Artist", a vivid collage of childhood memories of his in Swansea that combines the lyricism of his poetry with brilliance and sly humour.
