Biography


Iris Vaughan started writing as a young girl during the time of the Anglo-Boer War, in what is today the Eastern Cape. Because she was very outspoken and often embarrassed her magistrate father, he gave her a diary so that she could write her thoughts down instead of speaking them. Later she also wrote novels, but it is her diary that is best known today.
