The diaries of the late actor Alan Rickman, handwritten in 27 volumes with the intention of one day being published, will be edited and released as one complete book.

 

Rickman began writing the diaries by hand in the early 1990s, and continued to keep diaries over the next 25 years, up until his death from cancer in 2016.

 

The diaries cover a huge swathe of the actor’s career, including his roles in the Harry Potter franchise, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and Love, Actually.

 

Alan Taylor, editor of the Scottish Review of Books, will be responsible for editing the actor’s numerous volumes into a complete book.

Brilliant actor. Very under-rated.
