Her father died in 1907 and in 1915 Katharine and her mother moved to Cleveland where Emily had been hired to establish an education department for the soon to open Cleveland Museum of Art.

She published many books for children, starting in 1927, with The Golden Bird, a collection of folk tales from around the world. Two of her seven works of children's fiction, Cinders and Jock's Castle, were named as Horn Book Fanfare best books in their years of publication.

Katharine Mary Briggs

Katharine Briggs was born in Hampstead, London in 1898, and was the eldest of three sisters. In 1954, the first Katharine Briggs book was published, titled The Personnel of Fairyland, a guide to the folklore of Great Britain. This was followed by Hobberdy Dick (1955), a children's story about a hobgoblin in Puritan England. Though these books brought a small amount of interest, it was not until the 1960s and 1970s, following the deaths of her sisters and mother, that Briggs became a renowned folklorist. In 1963 she published another children’s book, Kate Crackernuts, and became involved with the Folklore Society of the UK, later being elected as its president in 1967. Now a preeminent expert on fairy stories and folklore, she began to lecture across the country and by the 1970s she had been invited to give lectures in the United States and was regularly interviewed on television. In 1971 she published her masterpiece, the four-volume A Dictionary of Folk-Tales in the English Language. This work remains the definitive collection of British folk stories, becoming a vital resource for writers, academics and storytellers. The Folio Society
