About the Author
Hilly Janes is an award-winning writer and editor who has worked for many national newspapers and magazines including the Times, Guardian, Observer, Independent and Prospect magazine. She spent her first ten years on the Gower peninsula, where her aunt, Ethel Ross, a lecturer in education, shared the family home. Hilly now lives in London with her husband and two children. Her biography, The Three Lives of Dylan Thomas, is based on portraits of the poet painted by her father, the Swansea born artist Alfred Janes.
Reviews
"One closes Hilly Janes's modest, but clear-sighted, life with the conclusion that he had an extraordinary gift, most of which he splattered against the pub-lavatory wall. And one really ought, one thinks, take another look at the work of Fred Janes." --John Sutherland, The Times; "[I]t is a reminder that the point about Thomas was not his chaotic life but his luminous talent." --Daisy Goodwin, Sunday Times; "[An] engaging, accessible biography...The book is at its best when grounding and humanising the man, stripping away some of the layers of myth, and placing him among friends, allowing us to see him as Janes's father saw him." --Natasha Tripney, The Observer
