INTERVIEW WITH NAOMI MITCHISON - River Campus Libraries

At that time, people were being paid for the acreage they planted.
. . .
Here we have Mrs. Thatcher, the Prime Minister, who does a lot of boasting, really, and this is very dangerous.
. . .
As one might expect, it was a struggle for her to recall details about the writing of a book published back in 1955, especially since she has written and done so much since, and I am deeply grateful for her patience with my questions and her willingness to help.
. . .
I read a lot of The Mabinogion and Malory, though not the latter until I was grown up.
. . .
The original story was very good indeed, but the more he wrote the less good it became.

Gavin Grant: Travel Light by Naomi Mitchison - infinity plus non ...
Rich and earthy, Travel Light has echoes of Mitchison's best known novel, The Corn King and The Spring Queen.. . .
Her books range from historical fiction to science fiction, nonfiction to autobiography to poetry; the most popular of which are Memoirs of a Spacewoman, The Conquered, and The Corn King and the Spring Queen.
. . .
Travel Light With luck -- and perhaps the right illustrator - - Travel Light could have been one of the last century's most popular children's books.
. . .
She was famously political and spent a fair amount of time trying to bring the local fishermen into the Labour Party.
. . .
From the dark ages to modern times, from the medieval forests to the Middle East, Travel Light is nimble, deep and joyful, and will carry the reader to Halla's world: where a basilisk might be met in the desert, heroes are taken to Valhalla by Valkyries, and a fortune might be made with a word to the right horse.

Once she has undergone the ritual of fireproofing, they teach her maths and geometry and the history of the world, and a great love of dragon treasure.. . .
Halla’s nurse has the gift of changing into animals, and seeing the infant’s danger, becomes a bear and takes young Halla into the woods to live with her.
. . .
She finds corruption and more evidence of the wickedness of men, even in the men of God, and of their narrow mindedness.
. . .
Halla is happy with the dragons and awaits the arrival of her own wings and claws and firy breath with eagerness.
. . .
The bears are both rough and kind, but Halla is something of a problem to them because she does not hibernate no matter how she tries to be like the other bears.
. . .
Uggi’s death is heartbreaking and heroic; the heroes’ victory shabby and mean and violent.

Naomi Margaret Haldane Mitchison - Jezzmo's Home
Naomi Mitchison - who was known as Nou to her friends - was still campaigning and marching against nuclear establishments well into her 80s and 90s.. . .
Mitchison also wrote children's literature, largely because she felt there was a need to educate young minds about the dangers of nuclear power.
. . .
Benton, the biographer, got to know her at that time, saying: "She was an amazing person, even at that age she travelled with just a knapsack and a pair of sandals." Biographies of Mitchison: Naomi Mitchison: A Biography by Jill Benton (London: Pandora, 1990) The Nine Lives of Naomi Mitchison by Jenni Calder (Virago, 1997) [biography book cover of Naomi Margaret Haldane Mitchison] Autobiography: Mitchison's autobiography is in three parts.
. . .
Her own lack of knowledge about birth control (as stated in her memoirs) led to her interest in the causes of birth control and abortion.
. . .
"She believed herself to be part of an intellectual elite and felt empowered to do and be any way she felt." The disapproval of London society persuaded Naomi to move to the small Argyll village of Carradale, on the Kintyre peninsula, where she bought the local mansion, Carradale House.
. . .
In a life that spanned the 20th century she wrote more than 80 novels - from historical to science fiction to children’s books - and she was remembered as a woman who championed the causes of the people of the west coast of Scotland.
