Born in London, England, she moved to Canada as a child and cultivated her literary career amidst the landscapes that would become a recurring motif in her work. Pickthall's delicate and lyrical writing style often reflected her profound affinity with nature and her interest in themes of beauty, spirituality, and the human condition. She initially began her writing career contributing stories and poems to various magazines, which garnered her substantial acclaim. Pickthall's book 'Angels' Shoes, and Other Stories' is a collection that embodies her ethereal narrative prose, rich with imaginative detail and evocative imagery, offering readers a blend of realism and romanticism that was characteristic of her literary voice. Beyond her collections of poetry, her move into fiction demonstrated her versatility and her penchant for crafting stories that resonated with elements of fantasy and deep humanism. Though her life was cut short, Marjorie L. C. Pickthall left an indelible mark on Canadian literature, influencing a generation of writers who sought to emulate her passionate and eloquent storytelling (Trehearne, 2005).
