Under Milk Wood is Dylan Thomas’s
undisputed and unforgettable masterpiece
– an affectionate, but hilarious portrait of
a small Welsh town. The classic 1954
recording, featuring a perfect cast led by
Richard Burton as ‘First Voice’, is rightly
considered to be definitive. This
collection also includes two earlier radio
programmes: Return Journey to Swansea
and Quite Early One Morning, read by
Dylan Thomas and others. Enjoyable in
their own right, they also provide a
fascinating insight into the process that
led towards Under Milk Wood.
