Nellie McClung Collection

McClung, Nellie L. - VRBCA - The Beauty of Martha (1910)

After publication of her first novel, Nellie McClung subscribed to a clipping service which provided her with any news articles which reviewed the book. This continued with the publication of 'The Second Chance', and in this case the British version of the same. These reviews she kept in scrapbooks which are now in the 0010 Nellie McClung Fond at the Royal British Columbia Archive.

    McClung, Nellie L. - VRBCA - The Mat that Polly Had Braided

     McClung wrote many first drafts of her articles and stories in scribblers. Some scribblers hold partial drafts of several stories. On occasion, McClung would write only on the right side of the page, then turn the scribbler over and write another story starting from the back of the scribbler; thus having two stories on subsequent pages, up side down from each other. We have tried to sort stories into their own linear narrative.

    The original document can be found in the Royal British Columbia Archive.
