David N. Thomas
Born in 1945, David N Thomas was brought up in south Wales, and studied at a number of English universities. From 1970, he worked in London as a community worker, and then as a lecturer at the National Institute for Social Work and Chief Executive at the Community Development Foundation. He was also a founder member of the European Community Development Network, and a Council of Europe Fellow.[1] He has published widely, including Skills in Neighbourhood Work, with Paul Henderson.[2]
He retired back to Wales in the early 1990s, and since then has written about the life and death of Dylan Thomas. His first book on Thomas was published in 2000, A Farm, Two Mansions and a Bungalow. The film rights were sold to make The Edge of Love.[3]
He has recently published Fatal Neglect: Who Killed Dylan Thomas?, as well as A True Childhood: Dylan's Peninsularity.
