Abstract

The White Bird Passes is an autobiographical novella published in 1958 by Scottish writer, playwright, and poet Jessie Kesson. Born in a workhouse in 1916, she lived in a back lane slum in Elgin until she was eight, when her single mother was judged to be unfit, and Jessie was sent to an orphanage. There she received a basic education, showing sufficient promise for a university place to be discussed. She later referred to this time as 'the golden years'.
