Early in the 1950s Picard moved from her mother's home to nearby Lewes.
After publishing a second collection of her stories, Oxford suggested that she try retelling ancient Greek mythology for children.
Readings were broadcast on British Radio Children's Hour in 1947 and fifty original fairy tales were eventually published, primarily by Oxford University Press beginning in 1949.
