The poet’s daughter tells of growing up with him in 1940s Wales, and “portrays a chaotic childhood with unsentimental grace” (The New York Times).   When Aeronwy was six, her parents, Dylan and Caitlin Thomas, moved to a boathouse at the edge of the small Welsh village of Laugharne. In this “enthralling [and] funny” memoir, she recreates those years, revealing from a child’s point of view the chaos and joy of living with Dylan Thomas while the poet was at the height of his creative powers, composing Under Milk Wood (The Washington Times).   Through a series of beautifully evocative episodes, the author paints a picture of village and family life, and a new portrait emerges of Dylan Thomas. Along with never-before-published photos, My Father’s Places features personalities like artist Augustus John and historian A. J. P. Taylor—as well as the villagers who would eventually be transformed into the characters from Llareggub.   “Clear-eyed, Laurie Lee-like memories of mudflats and sandbanks, picnics, swimming and going cockling . . . This enchanted but unsentimental book . . . of her wonderfully vivid childhood is profoundly moving.” —Daily Mail   “Highly evocative, moving and melancholy.” —The Sunday Times   “An enchanting book on every level, Aeronwy Thomas is not just her father’s daughter but a skilled author in her own right.” —Jennifer Worth, author of Call the Midwife Digital Content>E-books>Biography>Literature Biog,Memoir>Literature Biog,Memoir, Skyhorse Publishing Digital >16<

When Aeronwy was six, her parents Dylan and Caitlin Thomas moved to the boathouse at the edge of the small Welsh village Laugharne. Through a child’s eye, she recalls the chaos and joy of living with Dylan Thomas while the poet was at the height of his creative powers, composing Under Milk Wood. Through a series of beautifully evocative episodes, village and family life are explored. Emerging from the narrative, Aeronwy tells a moving memoir of growing up in Wales in the 1940s and a new portrait of Dylan Thomas as a father from the only person who could tell that story. This literary sensation includes never-before-seen photos of Dylan Thomas and his family, will get widespread attention, and features personalities like Augustus John, A.J.P. Taylor, as well as the villagers who would eventually be transformed into the characters from Llareggub.
