Cerys Matthews’ Under Milk Wood: An Illustrated Retelling

Author: Dylan Thomas

Number of Pages: 88

Under Milk Wood shows a day in the life of a small seaside town called Llareggub. We meet the inhabitants while still asleep, having wild dreams. We follow them as they wake up and go about their business: in the school yard, on a boat bobbing on the bay, in a field full of nannygoats. And, as dusk and darkness fall at the end of the day, we say ‘Goodnight’, tucking them back into bed, to sleep once more. Adapted by Cerys Matthews and illustrated by Kate Evans, this is Under Milk Wood as a perfect bedtime story for children, introducing Dylan Thomas’ characters and unforgettable dialogue to the next generation.
