- Book Synopsis
- Part of Renard's Christmas Card Classics series, 25% of the RRP of each book sold goes to Three Peas. This year, instead of a Christmas card, why not send a book? 'One Christmas was so much like another, in those years around the sea-town… that I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six…' Commissioned for the BBC for radio, Dylan Thomas's enchanting tale A Child's Christmas in Wales takes a nostalgic look at Christmases of yore - idyllic memories of white days and nights. Now considered one of his most enduring works, it has been described as 'the twentieth-century Christmas Carol'. In a nutshell, Three Peas is a small charity supporting people who have had to flee war and/or persecution and who are seeking refuge and/or asylum in Europe. They are mostly active in Greece. They financially support a housing programme on Lesvos, a community centre in Sindos near Thessaloniki, a sports centre in Athens and NGOs' emergency interventions in Thessaloniki, Lesvos and Samos. As well as the above they regularly support food and medical care providers.
