Ursula Moray Williams (1911-2006) was the youngest of twins and wrote and illustrated books from an early age, she wrote more than 70 books, illustrating many of them. This article from Hampshire Archives is interesting about her life and has lots of pictures which I enjoyed looking at. Particulaly a page of a notebook where she listed books she had read, it is lovely to see writers as readers. She seems to have had a very privileged upbrining but to have looked beyond that in the children she represented. I liked reading about how her role as a magistrate fed into her stories and how she targeted books at particular needs children have (for example a book written in simple language but talking of more mature readers for children with SEN at a school she worked with). I also liked the anecdote of her starting to write stories of The Little Wooden Horse as a present for her sister. She organised parties for the Puffin Club and was made the first honorary member.
