An Interview: with a Novelist

with contributions from Henrietta Buckmaster

Henrietta Buckmaster sold her first story at age twelve, four years before she became a Christian Scientist. She is the author of fifteen books—fiction and non fiction—ranging from a novel and a biography of the Apostle Paul to a definitive history of the antislavery movement in the United States. She has received a Guggenheim Fellowship, and her books have been translated into a number of languages. Her home is in New York City.
