Journal Entry 1 by Chania from Kokkola, Keski-Pohjanmaa Finland on Friday, November 18, 2011
"Under Milk Wood is a 1954 radio drama by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, adapted later as a stage play. A movie version, Under Milk Wood directed by Andrew Sinclair, was released during 1972. An omniscient narrator invites the audience to listen to the dreams and innermost thoughts of the inhabitants of an imaginary small Welsh village, Llareggub (which is bugger all spelt backwards). They include Mrs Ogmore-Pritchard, relentlessly nagging her two dead husbands; Captain Cat, reliving his seafaring times; the two Mrs Dai Breads; Organ Morgan, obsessed with his music; and Polly Garter, pining for her dead lover. Later, the town awakens and, aware now of how their feelings affect whatever they do, we watch them go about their daily business."

Oh, I bought this book from Wales in 1987 - from a little tea shop in Llansteffan - a place that had something to do with the life of Dylan Thomas. I suppose I read the book back then, but it is so long ago that I didn't remember a thing. Now I read it again and enjoyed it a lot - what a lovely book/play/ "radio play" - I could almost hear the voices when I read the book. Absolutely lovely!
