Frances Browne was an Irish poet and writer, mostly thought of for her compilation of children’s stories which is the Granny’s Wonderful Chair.

She was born at Stranorlar, in County Donegal, Ireland. She lost her vision because she suffered from smallpox when she was just 18 months old. In her stories, she retells how she knew by heart the tutorials which her brothers and sisters stated out loud each night, and how she persuaded them to discuss to her by completing their errands. She gave her best at learning all that she had perceived. She made her first verse, a rendition of The Lord’s Prayer, when she was seven years old.

Her first verses appeared in the Irish Penny Journal and in the London Athenauem. A few of those contained in the Irish Penny Journal was the amazing lyric, “Songs of Our Land” which can be seen in several collections of Irish patriotic poetry. She printed a comprehensive collection of verses followed by a second collection. The local periodicals, such as the Belfast-based Northern Whig republished a number of her poems and she was largely remarked as ‘The Blind Poetess of Ulster’. She later contributed to the famous magazine Chambers’s Journal and she composed for this magazine for the following 25 years. The earliest short fiction that she had contributed in the Journal was titled, “The Lost New Year’s Gift”.
