Frances Browne
Browne wrote a great deal of poetry; three three-volume novels, My share of the world: an autobiography (1861), The Castleford case (1862), and The hidden sin (1866); and The Ericksons (1852) and Our uncle the traveller’s stories (1859) for children. She published much in magazines and newspapers, including ‘Legends of Ulster’, but is remembered today chiefly for Granny’s wonderful chair and its tales of fairy times (1857).
