Violet M. Williams wrote and illustrated children’s books, fairy-tale collections and picture stories, with titles including Bumper Book of Bedtime Stories, Super Book of Fairy Tales and The Wizard’s Car. Her work is associated with mid-twentieth-century children’s publishing, where short stories, traditional tales and bright illustrations were often gathered into large gift collections for family reading. Williams also illustrated religious picture books and other children’s titles, so her contribution can be visual as well as authorial. Bumper Book of Bedtime Stories and Super Book of Fairy Tales place Williams most clearly within vintage illustrated children’s anthologies, where short traditional stories and pictures were designed for repeated family reading.
