Original manuscript of Richard Llewellyn's novel 'How Green Was My Valley' (Michael Joseph, 1939), bearing considerable revision by the author and including a rejected draft conclusion (f. 300). Complete except for seven leaves. According to a note on f. 183v, 6 [? recte 8] leaves were removed for a 1939 book exhibition; one of these (now f. 183) was subsequently found loose inside an uncorrected proof copy of the book, acquired by NLW in 1988, and returned to the original manuscript.
