Elizabeth Terhune Corbett (1830–1899) was an American author of poetry and children's books.

Biography

She was born Elizabeth Terhune Bogart in 1830 in New York City.[1]

Her books include Bunch and Joker and Other Stories (1878), Karl and the Queen of Queer-land (1880), Three Wise Old Couples (1881), and Rustic Rhymes and Ballads (1883).[2][3][4][5]

Corbett's story "My Visit to Utopia" has been studied since its 1869 publication in Harper's New Monthly Magazine.[6][7][8][9]

One of her poems was republished in 2004 in a children's picture book under the title Three Wise Old Women with illustrations by Yu-Mei Han. Kirkus Reviews wrote that the illustrator "transform[s] a brief bit of 19th-century nonsense verse into an elaborately silly outing".[10]

Corbett married Robert Henry Corbett around 1850. She died on July 8, 1899, in New York City.[1]
