| Description | Manuscript, with some annotated typescript pages of the first part of the book, later published as 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. The second page is labelled, '3rd draft' and the story concerns the seven children listed on the first page of the bundle. Both pages are shown here.
In this draft, the tiny workers in Mr Wonka's factory are introduced as 'Whipple Scrumpets'.
The draft covers the story up until the exit of the first child, Augustus Gloop, who falls into the chocolate river.
The manuscript is written in pencil on yellow paper, usually on one side of the paper only. |
