Rowena Farre 1922? 1979 was a British writer who achieved fame for her first book Seal Morning , published in 1957. The book describes how at the age of ten she and her aunt Miriam settled in a remote croft in Sutherland , Scotland, where they lived for seven years with various pets that included a common seal , Lora. Following the book s release, questions were raised concerning the authenticity of parts of the narrative, particularly the claimed musical abilities of seals, and the book is now considered an autobiographical novel rather than a strict autobiography. Farre proved to be a deeply private and elusive writer, and as the book s popularity grew, her publisher, Hutchinson publisher Hutchinson , had to go to considerable efforts to trace her. It was discovered that her real name was Daphne Lois MacReady. However, she subsequently published under the name Rowena Farre. There is disagreement over her date of birth it has been claimed she was 26 when the book appeared, giving her a birth date of c. 1931. However, Curtis Brown states she died in 1979 aged 57, giving her a birth date of c. 1922.
