CRAVEN, LYDIA JENNIE WINIFRED (1886 - 1984) A large quantity of her unpublished manuscripts and typescripts of short stories, a novel and plays, many of the typescripts annotated and corrected by hand. Included are "The Robe of Saint Bride" the manuscript and typescript with one leaf of suggestions for the work in the hand of Norman Gale to his "Dear and Earnest Pupil". Also a vast typescript, 724-pages, of her novel "Joiner`s Hall, a Yorkshire Tale" written under her pseudonym "John Garden". Also "The First of June", "Saint of the Slipper" (approx. 100,000 words); "Place of Holiday"; & "Another Story", etc. etc. Also her diary for the first 6-weeks of 1939 and a leather bound notebook containing 4-pages of observations on her work in Norman Gale`s hand concluding "I like the "Place of Holiday" intensely and only you could have written it" As far as we are aware none of the above works were published. She did, however, publish in 1984, a book that she commenced in the 1940`s and intended publishing at the time, titled "Aboudi, Man of Luxor". She had met Mohammed Aboudi, author of a guide to Egyptian antiquities, whilst travelling in Egypt. Aboudi was present at the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamun and, surprisingly, was secretary to Cole Porter. Three variant typescripts of the book are included with this lot, together with a copy of the printed book, a large photograph of Aboudi, signed postcards, an Aboudi guide book with loosely inserted notes on his life dictated to Lydia Craven, 15 autograph letters from Aboudi, and other pieces.
