My Darling Pussy

on BBC Radio 4 FM

The Letters of Lloyd George and Frances Stevenson (1913-41) ' It frightens me, cariad, when I realise how you are all in all to me, and how nothing, nothing in the world matters to me but you. Is it not a terrible thing to have staked your all on one person? But I know that person is mine, and that he Is my father and lover and brother and friend.''
For 30 years David Lloyd George had a double life. He spent much of his time with his wife and family, but even more with Frances Stevenson , his secretary and mistress. Their secret was respected during Lloyd George 's lifetime and so the letters provide a unique record of the relationship between two remarkable people.
A. J. P. Taylor introduces a selection from this fascinating correspondence which has recently been published for the first time.
