Cypress Walk. Letters from Alun Lewis to Freda Aykroyd

In July 1943, the young Welsh poet and soldier Alun Lewis arrived on sick leave at the house near Madras of Freda Aykroyd, a devotee of literature. Lewis and Aykroyd fell in love instantly. Their affair inspired some of the finest of his wartime poems as well as a cache of letters. This work publishes those letters.
