‘A rich social history … Paxman’s book could hardly be more colourful, and I enjoyed each page enormously’ DOMINIC SANDBROOK, SUNDAY TIMES
‘Vividly told … Paxman’s fine narrative powers are at their best’ THE TIMES
The first comprehensive book to be published about the wildlife of the Brecon Beacons is a much-anticipated addition to the New Naturalist series, and reveals the natural wonders of this seemingly wild and inhospitable mountain landscape.
This book is an attempt to survey the natural history of the whole of Wales. It therefore covers such areas as Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons as well as the spectacularly beautiful Pembrokeshire coast and the less well-known but no less interesting areas of mid-Wales.
A selection of poems by various poets, including W.B Yeats, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and D.H. Lawrence. There are also readings especially devoted to John Milton’s ‘Comus’ and ‘Paradise Lost’ with Dylan Thomas as Satan.
Dylan Thomas’ fantastic reading of ‘Under Milk Wood’ performed by Dylan Thomas and a remarkable cast available for the first time on CD.
Dylan Thomas tells stories of his childhood in Wales, piling on the sights and smells and sounds experienced by one rough-and-tumble Welsh lad with a miraculous sense of wonder.
