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 brings together two books about life for young adults in the west of Scotland.
The Far Harbour was first published in 1957. Henny and Crispies appeared in 1964. Also included here are two short stories, The Salmon Net (1951) and Lords of the Isles (1953). These later appeared in revised form in The Far Harbour.
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.
