Description: | Large file of general correspondence received by Frank Herrmann following the publication of 'The Giant Alexander', and the subsequent books in the series. The file primarily consists of letters from children and fans of the books; letters from schools and public libraries, many of which Frank Herrmann visited to talk to children about his books; and thank you letters from various people who were sent copies of the books. However, the file also contains other correspondence and miscellaneous papers relating to 'The Giant Alexander' books, including two photographs of Frank Herrmann reading to a group of children in the basement of Heal's in Tottenham Court Road, after the publication of 'The Giant Alexander'; a newspaper article from the London Evening Standard, 20 October 1978, about protestors climbing Nelson's Column; a photocopy of a letter from E.H. Shepard concerning the artwork for 'The Wind in the Willows'; and one letter from a lady-in-waiting of the Queen of Sweden, thanking Frank Herrmann for sending a copy of 'The Giant Alexander' to the Crown Princess Victoria in 1981, after his visit to the Royal Palace.
Copies of Frank Herrmann's outgoing letters are included in the file, along with a brief covering note written by Herrmann prior to the deposit of his archive with Seven Stories. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Rights holder: | Seven Stories | Subjects: | Seven Stories | Source: | Seven Stories | Identifier: | FH/02/07 | Go to resource |
