£75.00
A first edition, first printing of A Prospect of the Sea by Dylan Thomas, published by J. M. Dent & Sons, London in 1955.

In a very good unclipped wrapper showing the original price of 10s. 6d. with chipping to the spine tips and knuckles of front and rear flap folds, a closed tear to the rear upper knuckle, several small punctures to the front panel, and fading to the spine. With three associated newspaper articles relating to Dylan Thomas, one by Gwyn Thomas from an unidentifiable source, one from The Sunday Times, November 1963 and one from The Observer, September 1959.
A Prospect of the Sea is a collection of early short stories by Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, showcasing his lyrical prose and vivid imagination. The stories blend humour, eccentric characters and rich descriptions of Welsh life, reflecting Thomas’s fascination with human nature and rural landscapes. Written in the 1930s, these pieces reveal his developing literary voice, full of poetic rhythms and emotional intensity. The collection offers a glimpse into Thomas’s evolving style and his deep connection to place and language.
