Alan Rickman's 27 volumes of handwritten diaries to be published as a book, will release in 2022

Alan Rickman, who died in 2016 at age 69 following a battle with cancer, began writing these diaries in the early 1990s with the intention of publishing them. The personal diaries of the late actor Alan Rickman, known for the Harry Potter film franchise, Die Hard, and, will be published as a book in late 2022. According to The Guardian, the 27 volumes of handwritten diaries, spanning more than 25 years of Rickman’s life and career, will be edited down into a single book. The diaries reveal not just Alan Rickman the actor but the real Alan – his sense of humour, his sharp observation, his craftsmanship and his devotion to the arts,” Horton said.
