Description: | Correspondence relating to 'The Kin' by Peter Dickinson as a whole, and dealing with various aspects of publication, including the commissioning and development of the stories; research; and foreign language editions. The file includes letters from Caradoc King, Dickinson's agent at A. P. Watt Ltd.; Judy Donnelly, Dickinson's American editor at Putnam & Grosset; Marion Lloyd, Dickinson's British editor at Macmillan; and copies of some of Dickinson's outgoing letters. The file also includes two newspaper cuttings apparently relating to Dickinson's research for the book - one from 'The Guardian' 26 April 1996, reviewing 'Grooming Gossip and the Evolution of Language' by Robin Dunbar, and 'Climbing Mount Improbable' by Richard Dawkins, the other from 'The Guardian' 17 July 1997, about the discovery that there is no direct biological link from Neanderthals to Homo Sapiens - and two letters from David Fickling, which include some discussion of the differences between children's books and adult books and the potential for crossover. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Rights holder: | Seven Stories | Subjects: | Seven Stories | Source: | Seven Stories | Identifier: | PD/01/27/05 | Go to resource |
