Dylan Thomas Dylan Thomas

A beloved Welsh writer who died in 1953, The Beatles had all been fans of Dylan Thomas’ poetry by the time it came to creating the Sgt. Pepper artwork. “We all used to like Dylan Thomas,” Paul McCartney (No.64) later recalled. “I read him a lot. I think that John started writing because of him.” The late Sir George Martin was also a fan, and produced a musical version of Thomas’ radio play, Under Milk Wood, in 1988.
