By Dylan Thomas

The enduring holiday classic, lavishly illustrated by multiple Caldecott Medalist Trina Schart Hyma

A Good Gray Yule Book Flood Classic!

Favorite quote:  “And when the firemen turned off the hose and were standing in the wet, smoky room, Jim’s aunt, Miss Prothero, came downstairs and peered in at them. Jim and I waited, very quietly, to hear what she would say to them. She said the right thing, always. She looked at the three tall firemen in their shining helmets, standing among the smoke and cinders and dissolving snow balls and she said, “Would you like anything to read?”

From the publisher: In rich, humorous, magical prose, Welsh poet Dylan Thomas recalls the church-going, the tree-trimming, the food, the carols and games of his childhood Christmases. And, of course, Mrs. Prothero and the firemen. It is one of Thomas’ most popular works.

 This is a timeless classic—a wonderful evocation of a gentle and seemingly endless Christmas made charming and endearing through language.

Favorite review: “This Christmas treasure of both Hyman's illustrations and Thomas' eloquent prose will draw children into the world of Wales. A book to delight both children and parents." —School Library Journal, Starred Review
