The article discusses books and authors. "Quite Early One Morning," by Dylan Thomas has a distinct entertainment value of its own. The short pieces, it contains, most of them written as radio talks, are the work of a man who loved humor, people and bars and hated affectation. They are not easily associated with the visionary poetry which is Thomas's greatest work for he was poet who looked for a decisive change of scene when he went off duty. The first part of "Quite Early One Morning" consists of a number of sketches celebrating the theme of Everybody's Childhood.
