Description
Thomas (Dylan).- Swansea Grammar School Magazine, 9 vol. comprising vol. 25 no. 2 and vol. 26 no.1 to vol. 28 no. 2, a few leaves detached and a little frayed, some creasing and occasional light marking, vol.28 no. 1 lacking pp. 163-4, original wrappers, vol. 26 no. 2 lacking upper cover, creased, rubbed and marked, 8vo, Swansea, 1928-31.*** Nine issues of Dylan Thomas’s School Magazine, containing 19 poems, 2 essays, and 1 supernatural short story, along with 4 comic plays and numerous other uncredited contributions, covering the writer's time at school from the ages of 13 to 16. Runs of this magazine are rare, both in commerce and institutions. Thomas rose to the role of editor by vol. 27 and no.1, a position he retained until the end of the present run, and would therefore have been responsible for several of the editorials and other uncredited contributions. The standard of Thomas' poetic contributions in particular is remarkable and collectively the publications provide ample evidence of his extraordinary talent from such a young age.
