These two short fragmentary pieces from the Sylvia Townsend Warner and Valentine Ackland Archive in the Dorset History Centre concern Lolly Willowes (1926) and The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries by Walter Evans-Wentz. One piece appears to be the unfinished draft of a preface to Lolly Willowes, and the other, the start of a review of a reprint of Evans-Wentz’s book.

Warner’s article describes in detail the harsh economic conditions and powerful social restrictions in women’s lives in rural Spain. She notes that the marriage rites of the Spanish Church describe women as the property of their husbands.
