"Although Dylan Thomas is famous because he was a poet, he was also, like many poets, a distinguished writer of prose. His stories recently appeared in a collected edition. Now his letters - perhaps his finest prose, and certainly the most revealing - have been brought together for the first time in this long-awaited collection. It is a major literary landmark and can do nothing but enhance the continuing interest in Thomas as a person. His letters -- sad, comic, begging, bawdy -- intensely professional, bring him vividly to life. A romantic with a sharp mind, a devious charm and an unfailing eye for the detail of human behaviour -- including his own -- he was a born letter-writer and devoted much energy to his correspondence. The letters sparkle with wit and shrewd analysis; they are in turn touching, intimate and scurrilous. For candour, readability and beguiling insight, it would be hard to imagine a more fascinating collection."
