Sven BERLIN (1911-1999) 'The Sacred River' A collection of texts which form Berlins 1975 unpublished novel ' The Sacred River'. The lot includes the 1st typescript, 'Spare Copy Final Typescript' dated July 1976, 'Author's Copy' dated May-July 1976, and a folder titled 'The Sacred River A Spring Sacrifice' including text a selection of pen and ink illustrations. 'Sacred River', a novel completed in 1975, was written during Berlin's time living in Dorset. The novel was intended to follow Berlin's novel 'Amergin: An Enigma of the Forest' later published in 1978, but the publisher let the option go, and the novel remained unpublished. 'The Sacred River' follows a similar theme to 'Amergin'; being isolated on an island, and exploring one's connection to the animals living there. The book focuses largely on Berlin's personal fondness for fishing.
