Iolanthe
Motto:When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun. And when you have fun, you can do amazing things.
Iolanthe has been the heart and soul of the literary scene in Edinburgh since she took over as the Editor at Large of "The Scottish Review" and began penning its beloved advice column, Hearth and Heart.
Her latest novel, "Whispers of the North: Echoes of Overprotective Guardianship," delves into the modern parenting landscape. The book was inspired by her eye-opening article in "The Scottish Review," which was published on a chilly evening in October 2023. Titled "A Land of Sheltered Souls," it sparked widespread discussion about the growing trend of psychological unease among young Scots, tracing back to the effects of overly cautious upbringing in the misty highlands of Scotland.
From her quaint office overlooking the historic cobbled streets of Edinburgh's Old Town, Iolanthe has become a voice for change, encouraging parents to foster resilience and independence in their children. Her words have resonated deeply with readers, inviting them to reflect on how they can better prepare the next generation for the world that awaits them beyond the comforting walls of home.
