During the second half of the Twentieth Century, Mitchison wrote a succession of books for younger readers, which are now brought together in five volumes within The Naomi Mitchison Library.
This volume contains two books. Firstly, the straightforward tale of a family's Resistance in Italy during the Second World War, The Rib of the Green Umbrella (1960).
Secondly, Karensgaard, from 1961, a story that traces a Danish family through several generations, into the Resistance in Denmark, and the subsequent years.
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 - based on the classical ancient world, and on the immediately contemporary - stressed at different times her deep interest in Scottish and African societies, as well her concerns for the future.
She also wrote poetry and plays, memoirs, a war diary, book reviews, political articles, and many letters.
