Honor Courtney Maude (née King; Wem, Shropshire; 10 July 1905 – 15 April 2001, Canberra, Australia)[1] was a British-Australian authority on Oceanic string figures,[2] having published Maude & Maude 1958, Maude & Wedgewood 1967, Firth & Maude 1970, Maude 1971, Maude 1978, Emory & Maude 1979, Maude 1984, and Beaglehole & Maude 1989.[3]
One of these being "the absolute bible of string-figure literature" according to Mark Sherman.[4]
She was the wife of British civil servant and anthropologist Henry Evans Maude, who sparked her interest in string figures through lending her a copy of Kathleen Haddon's Cat's Cradles from Many Lands on their way to Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony, where, on Ocean Island and later Beru.[citation needed]
She saw string figures for the first time.[2] Maude was a charter member of the International String Figure Association in 1978.[5]
