Speaking of A Child in Wales

I have a copy of Dylan Thomas' poem "A Child's Christmas in Wales".  This is the cover on my small copy


It begins:  
One Christmas was so much like another, in those years around the sea-town corner now and out of all sound except the distant speaking of the voices I sometimes hear a moment before sleep, that I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six



Here's 6-year old Peg in the mountain village of Llanafan.
