Manuscripts, in the author's hand, and typescripts of stories by 'Fiona MacLeod', and one by William Sharp., 1893-1905.
Scope and Contents
Although there are examples of evidently early composition, the manuscripts appear on the whole to be fair copies, which bear several, sometimes many, corrections. These stories appear in “The Works of 'Fiona MacLeod'” with three exceptions. 'The daughter of the sun' (MS.8772, folio 44) appeared in ‘The sin-eater and other tales’, but only a small portion was retained in the ‘Works’, volume iii, page 181. 'Green fire' ('MS.8774, folio 114) is a fair copy of Book I and the first chapter of Book II of ‘Green fire’ with part of an earlier version. 'The merchant of dreams' (MS.8774, folio 203) contains unpublished material.
