Olive Dehn

Olive Dehn - Poet and children's writer - The Independent - 27 April 2007 - by Nicholas Tucker

"Poet, children's writer, organic farmer and lifelong anarchist, Olive Dehn was an unforgettable presence. Living for years in the fastness of Ashdown Forest in Sussex, she was like a benevolent pixie to the many she constantly befriended. Arrested in her earlier life first by the Nazis and then by the KGB, she also remained a persistent thorn in the flesh for the many governments she took issue with."

(From Nicholas Tucker obit of Olive Dehn)
