Sven BERLIN (1911-1999) 'Ben Blossom: a Secret Childhood' A collection of six books and folders, containing handwritten notes and typescripts which make up Berlin's unpublished work, 'Ben Blossom: a Secret Childhood'. Dated 1955, 1973, 1978, and 1979. 'Ben Blossom was the name I gave myself in childhood to cover the secret world of imagination, in which so much seemed to happen and yet was ignored by most people, even though these inner events dovetailed into the life around me and made it more exciting, if also more terrifying, and helped to interpret some of the impurities that discoloured daily experience as well as the love and ecstasy that sometimes enhanced it.' Sven Berlin, 1979.
