Description
"When Aeronwy was 6, her parents Dylan and Caitlin Thomas moved to the boathouse at the edge of the small Welsh village Laugharne. Through a child's eye this work recalls the chaos and joy of living with Dylan Thomas while the poet was at the height of his creative powers, composing "Under Milk Wood""--Publisher's description.
Description
In 1949, six-year-old Aeronwy Thomas and her family arrived at the Boat House in Laugharne, a small village on the Welsh coast. Here her father, the poet Dylan Thomas and mother, Caitlin, hoped to find peace. In Laugharne Dylan began some of his most famous works, including Under Milk Wood. In the afternoons Caitlin would lock the poet into a shed in the garden. Little Aeronwy enjoyed life at the Boat House with baby Colm and visits from big brother Llewelyn. My Father's Places is a fascinating portrait of growing up and an insight into the origins and legacy of Dylan Thomas's poetry.
