Among the actor's bequests, in a will which itself was controversial enough to require re-examination, was a large cache of private papers and memorabilia inherited by his godson, Robert Chiddell, and subsequently acquired by the broadcaster and Williams fanatic, Wesley Butters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis material, none of which has been seen before, includes scripts and drafts by Williams, lectures and speeches delivered by him (to an audience of policemen, in a couple of cases), a large number of superb photographs from all phases of his career, and creative writing which even extends to a fictional recreation of his own turbulent Cockney childhood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithout ever arranging it formally Williams had unwittingly assembled a brilliant scrapbook of his life. Kenneth Williams Unseen is that scrapbook, enlarged and emboldened by contributions from those who knew and loved him and is a must for every fan of the great man himself. This is the first authorised book on Williams in over a decade and will re-define the Williams legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wes Butters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47284869660821,"sku":"9780007396047","price":16.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780007396047.jpg?v=1776992091","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780007396047_kenneth-williams-unseen-the-private-notes-scripts-and-photographs","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
