Abstract

The extraordinary life of the New Zealand journalist, poet and novelist Iris Wilkinson was short but immensely productive. She was born in Cape Town on January 19, 1906 - "a child of British imperial history", as the authors of this biography describe her. Iris's parents met when her mother was a nurse in a military hospital in South Africa during the Boer War, but the family moved to Wellington during Iris's first year.
