Scope and Contents
This file contains a couple of typewritten book drafts entitled "Billywinks: The Fairy Boy". One is more complete than the other and includes ink illustrations and illuminated letters. There are also handwritten drafts of songs and sketches of the illuminated letters. The drawings include what was known as a "golliwog", a character created in 1895 by Florence Kate Upton that was popular until the 1960s-70s but was later perceived as a racist caricature.
