After meeting him through her publisher, Margery married Francesco Bianco in 1904, and the two had a son and a daughter. She published her first novel, The Late Returning, in 1902, and though it failed commercially she was encouraged to write and publish several more works of fiction. Marked by her father's death, however, and by his encouragement of her literary and creative interests, Margery returned to London in 1901 to embark on a career as a professional writer. In 1890, following her father's untimely death, Williams and her sister moved with their mother Pennsylvania, where Margery was enrolled at the Covent School in Sharon Hill. Born in London, she was encouraged to read from a young age by her father, a barrister and classics scholar. Margery Williams Bianco (1881-1944) was an English American children's book writer.
