Cypress Walk. Letters from Alun Lewis to Freda Aykroyd - Lewis, Alun

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.
