Photo by Ken Russell - March/April 1955 Zora the unvanquished : For 30 years, 72 year old Zora Raeburn wrote novels and sendt them to publishers. With not one acceptance, she never despaired. In her flat near the British Museum in London, where she let two rooms to pay the rent, she typed innumerable letters to publishers, libraries, film studios and radio producers. She begged on her cello in London streets then took a job as a shorthand typist to supplement her old age pension and published one of her books herself. ?006 TopFoto/Ken Russell
