Naomi Mitchison was one of the most prolific, skilled and original
writers of the twentieth century, whose novels range in setting
from prehistory to outer space. Her work displays a breadth of
knowledge and a sympathetic understanding for humanity: whatever
out time, or our culture, or our beliefs, we are all still very
much the same under the skin. Moira Burgess's SCOTNOTE study guide
covers three of Mitchison's historical novels: Early in Orcadia, a
sequence of stories set in prehistoric Orkney; The Big House, a
children's fantasy of time-travel back to the early nineteenth
century; and Travel Light, following a young Viking girl on a
magical quest. Each novel is examined, and the plots, and the
author's beliefs and influences, are discussed and explained for
senior school pupils and students at all levels.
