Four unpublished prose pieces by John Cowper Powys: 'The Hunchback's House', an outline, possibly of a projected novel (ff. 1-11), its sequel, an untitled short story (ff. 12-14), and an unfinished story outline (ff. 15-16), all set in the United States and dating, apparently, from the author's residence there; and 'Whatsoever' (ff. 17-27), an amalgam of philosophical reflection and journal, written in 1960.
