- Content Summary:
-
The shadow dog was originally conceived as a children's book in 1999 entitled 'Songs for Sebastian', written about a stray dog by the same name which Hill acquired. The book went through various stages of revision, none of which were taken up by publishers. Hill eventually offered it to publishers as a book for adults and it was published by Viking, Sydney in 2003, with illustrations by Andrew McLean.
This series comprises a notebook containing early ideas for the book, edited drafts, photographs, photocopies of illustrations for the book and correspondence, mainly with publishers.
