General note

Rosaleen Norton lived an urban life in harmony with nature in accordance with the universal laws of Pan. She lived in numerous flats and apartments with a menagerie of cats, lizards, frogs, rats and spiders. In her later years, she became increasingly reclusive and preferred the company of her black and white pet cats.
