Description: Her first fiction came as she celebrated her 40th birthday; the novel that made her name and reputation, MEMENTO MORI, was adapted for the stage and later for TV - the first of many. But if she is to be remembered for one book it is THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE, the story of a Scots schoolteacher.
