Florence James (1902-1993) was a novelist, editor and reviewer. She was born in New Zealand and educated at Sydney University where she began her long association with Dymphna Cusack. Together James and Cusack wrote two books, 'Four Winds and a Family', a story for children, and 'Come in Spinner' which won the Sydney Daily Telegraph prize in 1948. An abridged version of the novel was published by Heinemann in 1951. James edited the unabridged version which was published by Collins/Angus and Robertson in 1989. In 1990 the Australian Broadcasting Commission produced a mini-series based on 'Come in Spinner'.
