Wyn Lewis
Wyn was born just two months after the start of the First World War, across the other side of Cwmdonkin Park in Swansea from Dylan Thomas who arrived there just a month later.
First child of an affluent family, Wyn received the best education available at the time – Marlborough College and Cambridge University, but not before he seriously considered becoming a conscientious objector.
Cherry Lewis
Cherry found six large boxes full of letters and diaries in her mother’s house.
As Cherry opened each one, she became riveted by its content. The passion, the poetry, the music, and Wyn’s erudite ability to express it all, must be what we all long for in a love letter. Within these letters lay the story in this book.
Cherry is the eldest of Wyn and Irene’s four children. She trained as a geologist before moving into science communication at the University of Bristol. Fascinated by the history of her subject she has written and edited several books for which she won the Geological Society’s History of Geology medal. This is her first venture into a more general history.
