Autorenporträt
Naomi Mitchison [1897-1999] was a literary phenomenon. Tireless in her writing, unafraid and often highly unconventional in her opinions, she left an extraordinary legacy. Her novels for adults and children stressed at different times her deep interest in Scottish and African societies, as well her concerns for the future. She also travelled widely, wrote poetry and plays, memoirs, a war diary, book reviews, political articles, and many letters.
