Typescript drafts of short stories written by Moira Miller. Many of these stories were broadcast on BBC radio, primarily on the 'Nickety Nackety' programme, but not all of them appear to have been broadcast. Several of the stories also appear to be early versions of stories which appear in several of Miller's story books. Many of the drafts bear annotations in Miller's hand, and for several stories there exist drafts in successive stages of development.
