Content description
Created during Young’s various travels, they range from notes on the places he passed through to notes for articles during his role as a foreign correspondent for The Observer. The notes he made were generally very brief and act more as an aide memoire of the places he visited.
Most of the notebooks are undated and appear to overlap with each other. Young would often start a notebook, but leave the majority of the pages blank.
