These letters between Henry Graham Dakyns (who tutored Lord Tennyson's two sons) and the Tennyson's family remained unpublished until this book edited by Robert Peters with assistance by Janine Rosalind Dakyns, granddaughter of Henry came out in 1989. Dakyn's initial involvement with Tennyson's family developed into long lasting close relationship including with Lord Tennyson. This book is a treasure trove for Tennyson's scholars and enthusiasts.
