    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    A beautiful gift for Christmas, this superb selection of writing, by celebrated Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, opens with his enchanting story A Child’s Christmas in Wales. This classic tale recalls magical days full of family, snowy countryside and the magic of Christmas, inspired by the author’s childhood in Wales.

    Thomas also revisits his youth in his series of stories Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog. Brilliantly evoking his life through boyhood and adolescence to emerge as a young man in a series of vivid, uncompromising stories peopled with finely drawn characters.

    Then come the poems, carefully chosen and featuring such greats as ‘And death shall have no dominion’, ‘Fern Hill’ and ‘Do not go gently into that good night’.

    Dylan Thomas was a twentieth-century bard, and was able to get to the root of people’s lives and to express human emotions with intense skill and originality. He is remembered for his love of words and a startling inventiveness which has yet to be beaten.

    A Child's Christmas in Wales & Other Stories and Poems is part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics bound in real cloth with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.
