This is an ex-lib but remains in good condition **** Marion Catherine "Kitty" Barne (1883 – 3 February 1961) was a British screenwriter and author of children's books. She won the 1940 Carnegie Medal for British children's books. She married Eric Streatfeild in 1912, becoming the cousin-in-law of another popular children's writer Noel Streatfeild. Barne was a member of the Women's Voluntary Service, responsible for the reception of children evacuated to Sussex. During the war years, she published six novels, most notably Visitors from London about evacuees (J. M. Dent, 1940). For that work she won the annual Carnegie Medal from the Library Association, recognising the year's best children's book by a British subject. She is best known now for her pony books Rosina Copper and its sequel Rosina and Son, about the true story of an Argentine polo pony mare that was rescued from neglect after being ordered to be killed. They were illustrated by Alfons Purtscher and Marcia Lane Foster respectively.
*N.B.* If you buy more books from me you only pay R 6 postage each on the additional books – see what else I have to offer, it might be worth your while.
