‘There have probably been more legends and myths about Dylan Thomas than about any other poet since Lord Byron. As a friend of his I am anxious that the true story can be told before the myth has got quite out of control. It was with this intent and with the full co-operation of Dylan’s widow and the Trustees of the Estate that I undertook the job.’ In these words Mr. FitzGibbon outlines the purpose of his book – to portray truthfully the whole complex man, at once lovable and maddening, gay and sad, but indisputably a genius.’
