Here he tells a true story,and a hauntingly romantic one,describing his wife and daughter in luminous words and photographs that capture the essence of their Pre-Raphaelite beauty.He tells how he first met his wife Cathy,when she was five and he was twenty-two,how they met again much later,and married,and how they waited twelve years for the birth of Jessy,whose lively loveliness has astonished him ever since.
