The Blavatnik Honresfield Library: saved for the nation.
Friends of the National Libraries (FNL) successfully raised over £15 million to acquire the Honresfield Library for the nation. The collection includes manuscripts by the Brontës, Jane Austen, Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott.
FNL donated every manuscript and printed book to nearly 70 libraries and writers' houses across the UK so that they are accessible to everyone.
This catalogue book includes detailed chapters with accompanying colour photography on the manuscripts and books saved by the FNL.
