Nam Le, who won the 60,000 Dylan Thomas Prize for his book The Boat last November took on the challenge of meeting 11 year old schoolchildren from Terrace Road School as part of his role as an ambassador for the University of Wales sponsored Prize.The meeting with the 36 Year 6 pupils took place at 5 Cwmdonkin Drive , Uplands, Swansea - the birthplace of Dylan Thomas which has been restored to its condition as a new house in 1914 by local couple Anne and Geoff Haden and where the prizewinning author stayed for a few days.Said Nam "The children amazed me with their range of original ideas - they kept me on my toes all day."Staying at the birthplace of Dylan Thomas has been a huge treat - I've learned something about how this house and the area influenced his early work."Apart from the workshops with Nam the children also toured the house with Anne and were shown by tour guide Ann Hughes how to make a cup opf tea using leaf tea, a teapot and china cups with not a teabag in sight!.Geoff took them on a trip to nearby Cwmdonkin Park where they followed the love triangle short story Patricia, Edith and Arnold in which Patricia, the maid at Number 5 and Edith who worked next door discover that they are dating the same man. Sparks fly when the three meet up at the bowls pavillion in the park under the watchful eye of the youthful storyteller Dylan!In the evening Nam and 2006 prizewinner Rachel Tresize talked about their writing careers in conversation with Peter Stead and award winning author Flur Dafydd at the Dylan thomas Centre.
