Here, too, are stories originally written for radio and television and, in a short appendix, the schoolboy pieces first published in the \u003cem\u003eSwansea Grammar School Magazine\u003c\/em\u003e. A high point of the collection is Thomas's \"Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog,\" a vivid collage of memories from his Swansea childhood that combines the lyricism of his poetry with the sparkle and sly humor of \u003cem\u003eUnder Milk Wood\u003c\/em\u003e.
