Shortly after his death in 1953, she compiled a photo memoir of his haunts in and around Swansea. \u003ci\u003eUgly, Lovely\u003c\/i\u003e is a touching collection of Ethel's photos accompanied by quotes from Dylan Thomas' poetry and her own comments. Together they provide an unprecedented portrait of Swansea, Laugharne, and Llansteffan in the 1950s, letting the reader see the Carmarthenshire landscape for the first time through the eyes of Wales' most celebrated poet. \"Lunch at Mussolini's\" offers a vivid and whimsical insight into the early workings of Dylan's mind and a caustic satire of the dictator's life. Patiently preserved by Ethel, the sketch will be published for the first time alongside her photo memoir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thomas, Dylan, Homes and haunts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 91\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Parthian\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781910901779\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sell Books","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £15.67","offer_id":48132616782001,"sku":"SB-1910901776-C4","price":15.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/1910901776.jpg?v=1793667981","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/ugly-lovely-dylan-thomass-swansea-and-carmarthenshire-of-the-1950s-in-pictures","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
