""[Dylan Thomas'] . voice has added a new dimension to literary history. He will surely be remembered as the first in modern literature to be both a maker and speaker of poetry." - The New York Times. "On February 22, 1952, C ylan Tomas made his first recording for Caedmon Records, A Child's Christmas in Wales and Five Poems. It was the first of many albums Thomas was to record for Caedmon. This recording launched not only Caedmon, but the spoken-word industry as well. Here, at long last, in celebration of 50 years of sponen-word publishing, Caedmon presents Dylan Thomas: The Caedmon Collection. This unique collection includes not only Dylan Thomas reading his finest works, but also rare recordings of Thomas reading his favorite writers - including W.H. Auden and William Shakespeare. Some of the many selections in this set include Thomas' poetry: "Fern Hill" and "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night;" his prose: Adventures in the Skin Trade and Quite Early One Morning, and his final work - Under Milk Wood, a play. The recording of Under Milk Wood included here is the only one in existence with Dylan Thomas in the cast. It owes its remarkable existence to the serendipitous placement of a microphone at center stage minutes before the curtain was raised." - from the rear/lower outer box.
