Ted and Daphne is the first-person account of Eric (Ted) Pengelley from his youth in the 1920s and 1930s in Jamaica and attending English boarding schools, to receiving his doctorate in 1959. Born in Canada, Ted served during World War II as a Canadian Air Force radar technician, part of the time in Britain where he met Daphne Hill, an artist and Women's Auxiliary Air Force radar servicewoman. Ted and Daphne's correspondence between 1944 and 1948 is rich with the intimacy and formality of a courtship by letter. Together, his memoir and their letters, interwoven chronologically through his story, offer the reader a window into this wartime period and its consequences from their two perspectives.
