The private diaries of Alison Uttley
In May 2009 the edited Private Diaries of the renowned children’s author and Manchester graduate Alison Uttley were published, to mark the 125th year of her birth. The diaries were edited by Professor Denis Judd, who had previously written her biography. The diaries reveal a different side to the writer whose husband committed suicide and whose close relationship with her son is recorded in detail.
On Tuesday, 13 October 2009 The University of Manchester Alumni Association will be joined by acclaimed biographer Professor Judd who will share some of the other revelations uncovered in the diaries. Alumni are invited to attend and will be offered afternoon tea in the charming Christie Bistro before hearing from Professor Judd.
