The Stranger´s Child

In the late summer of 1913 the aristocratic young poet Cecil Valance comes to stay at ´Two Acres´, the home of his close Cambridge friend George Sawle. The weekend will be one of excitements and confusions for all the Sawles, but it is on George´s sixteen-year-old sister Daphne that it will have the most lasting impact, when Cecil writes her a poem which will become a touchstone for a generation, an evocation of an England about to change for ever.
