Naomi Mary Margaret Mitchison, Baroness Mitchison, CBE (née Haldane; 1 November 1897 – 11 January 1999) was a Scottish novelist and poet.
Often called the doyenne of Scottish literature, she wrote over 90 books, including historical fiction, science fiction, travel writing and autobiography.
Her husband Dick Mitchison's life peerage in 1964 entitled her to call herself Lady Mitchison, but she never did.
She was appointed CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) in 1981.
The Corn King and the Spring Queen (1931) is seen by some as the best 20th-century historical novel.
