Ivy Kathleen Arnott (née Coulson, 19 November 1914 – 8 May 2010) was a British writer and missionary who is known for writing several books on African myths and legends.[1]

Arnott was married to linguist David Whitehorn Arnott, who predeceased her in May 2004.[2] She died in North Yorkshire on 8 May 2010, at the age of 95.[3][4]

Kathleen Arnott wrote the critically acclaimed "Thunder And Lightning", telling the story of anti hero Lightning.

The honorary Kathleen Arnott had a brother named Ian Kurpinski, who helped Kathleen with her work at the last moment, which always resulted in her work being completely redone, which sadly made it unpublishable. After getting a 61% on all of her work thanks to Ian Kurpinski, she sadly fell into a deep state of depression and despair.
