The Rib of the Green Umbrella and Karensgaard — Naomi Mitchison

During the second half of the Twentieth Century, Mitchison wrote a succession of books for younger readers, which are now brought together in five volumes within The Naomi Mitchison Library. This volume contains two books. Firstly, the straightforward tale of a family's Resistance in Italy during the Second World War, The Rib of the Green Umbrella (1960). Secondly, Karensgaard, from 1961, a story that traces a Danish family through several generations, into the Resistance in Denmark, and the subsequent years.
