Margaret Gregory (nee Parry)
Lily Margaret Graham Parry studied in London at the Slade School of Art, where she met Robert Gregory, son of Lady Gregory. Margaret illustrated three of her mother-in-law's books: The Kiltartan Wonder Book (Maunsel, Dublin, 1910), The Blessed Trinity (Bucks., 1985) and The Golden Apple (Murray, London, 1907) and it has been noted that Lady Gregory cherished all of Margaret's illustrations. These drawings were only published posthumously in 1985. The National Library of Ireland holds other examples of the collaborative work between Lady Gregory and her daughter-in-law, Margaret (see NLI News, no. 13, Autumn 2003). www.whytes.ie
