Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend
The hosts noted that the author had sold the rights to the title an extraordinary number of times, highlighting its frequent republishing. They also mentioned a listener's son who seemed to be channeling the poet's style, even using a word that appeared repeatedly in the original draft. Both remarks were made in passing without a strong endorsement.
Episode: Matthew Rhys
It was mentioned as a book that a podcast listener's son, who was evicted from his room, may have been referencing when he used the word 'Dick' in a poetic way, similar to the book's original draft.
It was as if he was channeling Dylan Thomas.
You know, the word Dick in the original draft of A Child's Christmas in Wales, I think Dick is used nine times.
Episode: Matthew Rhys Returns Again
The hosts mentioned that Dylan Thomas sold the rights to the story, noting that it had been sold many times and was frequently republished.
Dylan Thomas sold the rights to A Child's Christmas in Wales to an inordinate amount of people. As he was rampaging around New York, he was just saying, I have this wonderful little story. I should like to sell you the rights. And they were like, oh great.
Harper's Bazaar bought, everyone bought the rights to. He sold it like 800 times.
