Manuscripts

Scope and Content

Draft manuscripts of several of Alison Uttley's works. Again, it is the inclusion of an almost complete version of The Country Child that is the most interesting part of this class, allowing us to trace the omissions and additions which created the finished product. A notebook which precedes the draft (AJU/2/1/2) is also fascinating, as there are hints of the book to be written. Many of the drafts here can be combined with material given before Alison Uttley's death.
