Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog. First edition, first impression, of this autobiographical short story collection, "his record of the background to the poems" (Ferris, p. 178). These ten stories "show a self-conscious transition from shy child to tormented adolescent, a would-be provincial rebel hoping that drunkenness and loud shirts would shock his elders. [They are] nostalgic, amusing, largely true-life romances about himself in Wales" (ODNB).
