Scope and Content

Spiral-bound reporter's notebook containing various notes and scribbles, most of which relate to Martin Waddell's writing career. The notebook includes notes and drafts for 'Man Mountain', 'The Happy Hedgehog Band' and 'The Big Bad Mole's Coming!'; notes on Waddell's view of the Bible, which appear to be directed at a specific individual and may be preparatory notes for a letter or telephone conversation [references to 'the publisher' in these notes imply they relate to his work in some way]; notes on the progress of publication of various titles; and notes and drafts for possible story ideas.
