Higham was a recipient of the Prix des Créateurs in 1978 and of the Académie Française and the Poetry Society of London Prize.〔Todd McCarthy ("Charles Higham, Noted Film and Political Biographer, Dies at 81" ), ''Hollywood Reporter'', 5 May 2012〕
==Early life and career==
Born in London, Higham was the son of MP and advertising mogul Sir Charles Higham and his fourth of five wives, Josephine Janet Keuchenius Webb.〔Charles Higham ''In and Out of Hollywood: A Biographer's Memoir''〕 His father died when he was 7, and living with his divorced mother (his parents had divorced when Higham was 3),〔Philippe Mora ("A scourge of Hollywood and Nazis" ), ''Sydney Morning Herald'', 7 May 2012〕 the family reportedly lived in modest circumstances during the second world war.〔Todd McCarthy ("Charles Higham, Noted Film and Political Biographer, Dies at 81" ), ''The Hollywood Reporter'', 2 May 2012〕 The younger Higham published two early books of verse in England,〔 before moving to Sydney, Australia in 1953, where he became a journalist and critic for ''The Sydney Morning Herald'' and, later, the Sydney ''Daily Mirror''.〔 Higham became literary editor of ''The Bulletin'', the country's leading weekly, in 1964, and published three more collections of verse.〔
In the 1960s, Higham compiled a number of now-scarce horror anthologies for Horwitz Publishing House, mostly reprinting material by non-Australian writers, the majority of the stories being reprinted from Montague Summers's 1936 anthology ''The Grimoire and Other Supernatural Stories''. Australian writer Terry Dowling contributes an essay discussing the influence of Higham's horror anthologies on his own writing to Stephen Jones ''Horror: Another 100 Best Books''.
