Summary
Manuscript of The Tale of Mr Tod, a brown 'St Paul's' exercise book. The title is written in pencil on the front cover (top right) and on the first page. The text is written in ink on the right hand (odd numbered) pages only, with occasional alterations made to the text in pencil. There are no illustrations. This may be the latest of the three manuscripts of The Tale of Mr Tod in the National Trust Collection; see HIL.R.13 for further details. The opening paragraph is highlighted by a pencil line in the margin; the paragraph was altered for publication. See also HIL.R.13 and HIL.R.14, two further manuscripts of The Tale of Mr Tod.
