Description: | Spiral-bound notebook containing a partial manuscript draft of 'Blewcoat Boy' by Leon Garfield. The draft is very fragmented throughout, with brief passages from various different chapters appearing in succession, often with the same passage being written and revised numerous times. Some passages are numbered, and these numbers do roughly equate to the chapters of the published work, but the numbering is not consistent. In addition to passages of text, some pages feature rough plans for the development of the story.
The notebook has also been reversed and used from the back. The first four of these reversed pages contain fragments of 'The Empty Sleeve' (Viking Kestrel, 1988), which are then followed by four pages of fragments of 'Blewcoat Boy'.
A white label has been stuck to the front cover of the notebook, identifying it as 'Nick & Jubilee [the names of the main characters in 'Blewcoat Boy'] (Blewcoat Boy or Gold Watch) Leon Garfield'. This label is in Vivien Alcock's hand and was probably affixed to the notebook some time after Garfield's death. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Rights holder: | Seven Stories | Subjects: | Seven Stories | Source: | Seven Stories | Identifier: | LG/01/20/01 | Go to resource |
