Talks at The Smith: Great Scottish Writers: Lavinia Derwen

This children’s author and broadcaster found huge success late in life, with memoirs about growing up on a farm in the Borders. These offer fascinating glimpses into early 20th century life, with vividly recounted tales and gentle humour. The very popularity of her work, much of it out of print today, may have obviated serious appraisal of her accomplished writing technique, and the darker side of her recollections – until now.
