Papers, 1939-1952 (bulk 1949-1952).

The Llewellyn papers comprise manuscripts, correspondence, photographs, slides, negatives, personal effects, financial papers, clippings, and other printed materials. Llewellyn's career as a novelist and screenwriter in the United States just after World War II is well documented in this collection, which includes the manuscripts for four novels, including an unpublished one, as well as short stories, articles, and scripts for stage, screen, and television. The novel for which Llewellyn is best known, How Green Was My Valley, is not represented in the collection. Also present is correspondence, highlighted by letters from his father, William Llewellyn Lloyd, and his first wife, Nona Sonstenby. Other correspondents of note include Earle J. Bernheimer, the French spy Mathilde Carre, Curtis Brown Ltd., Loraine Fielding, Edith Haggard, Galston Hardy, Naomi Jacob, and Michael Joseph Ltd. A collection of photographs documents Llewellyn's travels from 1949-1951, and a series of personal papers includes his birth certificate, military records, and financial papers. A sketch by Florencio Molina Jacobs and a carbon typescript of a novel by Ignazio Silone are also present.
