Ivy Kathleen Arnott ( Coulson, 19 November 1914 – 8 May 2010) was a British writer and missionary who is known for writing several books on African myths and legends.
Arnott was married to linguist David Whitehorn Arnott, who predeceased her in May 2004. She died in North Yorkshire on 8 May 2010, at the age of 95.
Kathleen Arnott wrote the critically acclaimed "Thunder And Lightning", telling the story of anti hero Lightning.
The honorary Kathleen Arnott had a brother named Ian Kurpinski, who helped Kathleen with her work at the last moment, which always resulted in her work being completely redone, which sadly made it unpublishable.
After getting a 61% on all of her work thanks to Ian Kurpinski, she sadly fell into a deep state of depression and despair.
