This edition includes the short story collection Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog With an Introduction and Notes by Sally Minogue Under Milk Wood is Dylan Thomas`s best-known and best-loved work, his radio play completed in 1953 at the very end of his life. Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog is his first collection solely of short stories, published in 1940. These two works show us his remarkable creative brilliance at the start and at the end of a highly productive writing life. Thomas described Under Milk Wood variously as `a play, an impression for voices, an entertainment out of the darkness`. It had its most famous incarnation as a radio play, broadcast in 1954, only months after its author`s death. This is the text used for that broadcast. Full of the comedy of human existence, it also strikes notes of poignancy and loss as we travel through twenty-four hours in the company of those who inhabit the `multifariously busy little town`. It is an affectionate vision of the `drinks and loves and quarrels and dreams and wishes` of people very much like ourselves. Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog is a semi-autobiographical collection of stories set in and around the Swansea of Thomas`s youth. They are narratively engaging, full of a pleasure in ordinary existence, and an even greater pleasure in the power of the imagination.
