London England, Hodder & Stoughton Ltd, 1978. 3rd Impression, Binding: Cloth, Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo 0340195649 Hardcover Hardcover. Dylan Thomas by Paul Ferris. Shelf wear to top edge of D/J. Small and repair to D/J. Few poets of any century have attracted such extreme champions and denigrators as Dylan Thomas, the marvellous boy of the 1930s, who was quickly famous, quickly notorious and quickly dead. Had he lived he would have been approaching his middle sixties; the idea seems ridiculous, thanks to the enduring legend of the man who could never break the chord between himself and his childhood. Paul Ferriss new biography explores both Dylan Thomas and the legend, drawing on much unpublished manuscript material, and a year of interviewing in Britain and America. Illustrated. 399 pp.
