Dylan Thomas' best-known and most-loved work is "Under Milk Wood," his radio play completed in 1953 at the end of his life. "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog" is his first collection of short stories, published in 1940, and showcases his remarkable creative brilliance at the start and end of a highly productive writing life. "Under Milk Wood" is a play, impression for voices, and entertainment out of the darkness, while "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog" is a semi-autobiographical collection of stories set in and around the Swansea of Thomas' youth.

Under Milk Wood is Dylan Thomas' most renowned and cherished work, a radio play completed in 1953, marking the end of his life. His first collection of short stories, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog, was published in 1940. These two masterpieces showcase Thomas' remarkable creative brilliance at the beginning and culmination of a highly productive writing career.
Thomas referred to Under Milk Wood as "a play, an impression for voices, an entertainment out of the darkness." It gained its most famous manifestation as a radio play, broadcast in 1954, just months after Thomas' passing. 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 journey through twenty-four hours in the company of those who inhabit the "multifariously busy little town." It is an affectionate vision of the "drinks, loves, quarrels, 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' youth. They are narratively engaging, full of a pleasure in ordinary existence, and an even greater pleasure in the power of the imagination.
