Welcome to the Muriel Spark Society, founded in 2001, with Dame Muriel's personal approval and blessing. She was particularly happy to know that this is based in Edinburgh - which she termed 'her own city'.

The purpose of the Society is to promote the understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of Muriel Spark's work, and to provide a forum for all those wishing to extend their awareness of her achievements.

The committee organises a varied programme of events, including talks by eminent speakers, and an annual lunch in January or February to commemorate Dame Muriel's birthday. Members also receive our annual Newsletter, for which contributions are invited.
