    Dylan Thomas discovery

    "A previously unknown Dylan Thomas notebook containing drafts and revisions of some of his most challenging poems has emerged more than 70 years after the poet’s mother-in-law asked for it to be burned in the kitchen boiler."

    "The notebook was the fifth used for poems by Thomas – the other four are held by the State University of New York at Buffalo"

    Thomas’s mother-in-law had ordered that the notebook be burned; her servant saved it for posterity in a paper bag


    Presumably the University will be keen to acquire this book, which has been valued at £150,000, but which I am sure will reach a much higher price.

    That's quite a find! The Tesco bag could have easily been thrown out at any time too.
