This CD features Alan Woodland reading the timeless treasure A Child's Christmas in Wales. Alan's rendition is especially poignant, bringing to life the heartwarming childhood memories penned so eloquently by Dylan Thomas. The CD also includes the delightful tale Carols in the Cotswolds by Laurie Lee. This charming story relates the adventures of young boys carol singing on a snowbound night. With his wonderful, expressive style, Alan takes you back to that memorable night in the winter countryside. Journey with the boys as they trek through their snowy valley, singing carols from house to house, their lanterns lighting the way. When Alan reads these stories, you can see, taste and hear every detail - crisp winter nights, bundled up postmen, freshly-baked pies, and colorful presents for good little boys.
So relax in your favorite chair, and let Winter Harp take you on this magical literary journey to Christmas' past.
The CD also includes interludes of carols on harp, flute and cello.
This CD was featured on CBC Radio's North by Northwest and played in its entirety several times on CBC Radio's nationwide DiscDrive with Jurgen Gothe.
Harps are the perfect accompaniment to this reading of Dylan Thomas' A Child's Christmas in Wales. Chill and wintery, as delicate as drifting snow, they have the ability to carry the mood of this venerated story and they convey something ancient in their sound. - Lloyd Dykk, The Vancouver Sun
You have given us a wonderful gift through this music and story. I know the story has always been there, I just also know, I have never heard it told so beautifully. Thank you. - Pat
