| Description: |
| Holograph manuscript in blue ink on single sheet lined paper, 14x16½. Page divided with pencil rules into outline format. |
| The outline for Roderick Haig-Brown's 1949 novel "On the Highest Hill." Across the top of the page, Haig-Brown has described in close detail the overall theme of the novel, the left column organizes the story into six parts by locale and chronology, each of the six parts is then expounded in terms of place, action, and development. A unique insight into the writer's creative process. Haig-Brown's wife, Ann, encouraged him to pursue this somewhat divergent work - his only adult novel. It was her own favorite of all his writings, containing, as she believed, the true essence of the writer and the man. |
| Condition: |
| Creases from folding, else fine. |
