Thomas, Dylan. A CHILD'S CHRISTMAS IN WALES. New Directions, Norfolk, CT, 1954.

Price: US$600.00 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: Scarce advance copy of the first separate edition of the great Christmas classic. First published in HARPER'S BAZAAR in 1950 and first collected in the US edition of QUITE EARLY ONE MORNING, A CHILD'S CHRISTMAS IN WALES was a synthesis of Thomas's two earlier pieces on the same subject: "Memories of Christmas," a 1945 BBC talk, and "Conversation about Christmas," a 1947 essay. The author's own recording (for Caedmon Records in 1952), frequently credited as the beginning of the modern audiobook industry, was largely responsible for the piece's extraordinary and enduring popularity - and its eventual publication in this form - though its inclusion on the LP was a happy accident: at the recording studio, short of material to fill both sides of the record, Thomas racked his brains and remembered "a kind of a Christmas story" written for "some magazine." Rare. 7'' x 5''. Loose sheets laid in original tan wrappers as issued. Lettering by Samuel Marsh. 31, [3] pages. Light toning and edgewear to wrappers, with a few tiny closed tears.
