After Such Kindness

By: Gaynor Arnold

Narrated by: Jilly Bond, Andrew Wincott, Penelope Rawlins, Paul Anstel

When the writer, Oxford scholar, and photographer John Jameson, visits the home of his vicar friend, Daniel Baxter, he is entranced by his youngest daughter, Daisy.

Jameson charms her with his wit and child-like imagination, teasing her with riddles and inventing humourous stories as they enjoy afternoons alone by the river and in his rooms.

The shocking impact of this unusual friendship is only brought to light when, years later, Daisy, unsettled in her marriage, rediscovers her childhood diaries in an old toy chest.

Inspired by the tender and troubling friendship between Lewis Carroll and Alice Liddell.
