The 'Young Dog' of the title is of course Thomas himself, and this volume of autobiographical stories by the great modern poet, who shows his waggish humor at its best, his exuberance and verbal magic in spectacular display. It also shows him a spinner of tales and a creator of memorable characters.

Now I see his texts are used by linguists as examples of the English grammar used to produce effective imagery. An irony? - Oh I think so!!!
