Catharine Edith Philippa Powys (; 8 May 1886 – 11 January 1963)〔(Red1st genealogy website )〕 was a British novelist and poet, and a member of one of the most distinguished families in modern literature. ==Family== Among her brothers were the novelists John Cowper Powys and Theodore Francis Powys (1875-1953) and the essayist Llewelyn Powys as well as Littleton Charles Powys (1874-1955),〔W. J. Keith, ''John Cowper Powys: Autobiography A Reader’s Companion'' ()〕 headmaster of Sherborne Prep School, and the architect A. R. Powys who was Secretary of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings and published several books on architecture. Of her sisters, Gertrude Powys was a painter of striking portraits and powerful landscapes, Marian Powys an authority on lace and lace-making. Philippa Powys was the ninth of eleven children in the Powys family's largest and most talented generation and was known to relatives and friends as ‘Katie’. She was born at Montacute in Somerset, and received no formal education. Much of the knowledge she acquired in youth was self-discovered. Her early adult life was spent farming, but in a family of prodigious writers – notably John Cowper Powys, T. F. Powys and Llewelyn Powys – it was no surprise that her own creative energies were channelled into literature from an early age.
