138, [2] pp. "... a story written in the form of a film scenario, which becomes in the hands of Dylan Thomas an art-form in its own right. It is a gripping, dramatic story, based o n the case of the murderers Burke and Hare which came to trial in Edinburgh more than a hundred years ago, and established its protagonists as bogy-men of the status of Sweeney Todd." ABOUT THE AUTHOR: "Dylan Marlais Thomas (October 27, 1914 - November 9, 1953) was a Welsh poet and writer. Thomas wrote half his poems and many short stories when he lived at the family home at 5 Cwmdonkin Drive; And death shall have no dominion is one of the best known works written at this address. His highly acclaimed first poetry volume, 18 Poems, was published in November 1934. The publication of Deaths and Entrances in 1946 was a major turning point in his career, with widespread recognition that a great poet had indeed emerged. Thomas "became a very successful orator...was extremely well-known during his life for being a versatile and dynamic speaker and he was best known for his poetry readings." His immensely striking and powerful voice would captivate American audiences during his speaking tours of the early 1950s. He made over two hundred broadcasts for the BBC." Show more
