The Seven Stories Collection
At the heart of Seven Stories is a treasure trove of original artwork and manuscripts which show the creative process behind children's books.
Seven Stories is the only place in the country which is actively collecting original archive material by British writers and illustrators for children. The collection includes work by leading authors and illustrators, such as Philip Pullman and Shirley Hughes.
