Join us Saturday, December 10, from 12:00-12:30 OR 1:00-1:30 for Ham Gillett’s traditional reading of A Child’s Christmas in Wales.
A child’s-eye view of a magical time of presents, family, and newly fallen snow is captured in this seasonal classic by Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas.
Ham Gillett has shared this story during Wassail Weekend for more years than he can remember. Familiar faces return–some of them local; some not–to close their eyes and listen to Dylan’s matchless weaving of words and images.
“Our snow … came shawling out of the ground and swam and drifted out of the arms and hands and bodies of the trees; snow grew overnight on the roofs of the houses like a pure and grandfather moss, minutely-ivied the walls and settled on the postman, opening the gate, like a dumb, numb thunder-storm of white, torn Christmas cards.” – Dylan Thomas
