The children of Shallowford / by Henry Williamson
1939, First Edition. London : Faber and Faber. Author's working copy in good condition, some loose leaves. Author's textual and marginal revisions to the 1st Faber (1939) edition of The Children of Shallowford along with numerous typed and manuscript-revised additions (presumed intended for a US edition but apparently never published) loosely inserted. The revisions are both extensive and comprehensive but stop abruptly circa page 86, suggesting the project was abandoned. A note to the front board alludes to the whole being an attempt at autobiography. Additional details, scans, photos, etc. are available upon request. A dust wrapper for a different book of the author's, The Linhay on the Downs, is loosely inserted. Item #446087
