'Katharine Susannah Prichard is an iconic, larger-than-life figure in Australian literary culture who has been poorly served by biography, until now. When she was dubbed ‘the red witch’ by a journalist it was a term of disparagement, but it is deployed affectionately by Nathan Hobby. This book derives from Hobby’s 2019 PhD on the early life of Prichard at the University of Western Australia. His training in librarianship is evident in his confident handling of the material, which daunted earlier would-be biographers. The KSP collection at the National Library runs to 3.9 metres or approximately twenty-four boxes.' (Introduction)
