                     SIR HUGH WALPOLE PAPERS
                             Inventory

Abstract:   Thirty-three letters, 1925-1933, to the writer 
          Bruce Beddow, 32 of which were written by English
          novelist Sir Hugh Walpole (1884-1941); a ten-page
          handwritten essay, "Christmas Books When I Was a Boy"
          (1933) by Walpole; and two questionnaires from 1929
          submitted by Beddow and completed by Walpole about
          Walpole's life, work, and literary opinions.  The
          letters briefly discuss book advertising, publishing
          and critics, but refer mainly to Beddow's efforts as a
          novelist, analysis of Beddow's novels, Walpole's own
          works, and an unpublished biography on Walpole by
          Beddow.
