Ulla Beattie

Ulla Marita Beattie was born in Helsinki, Finland in 1945, which explains why many of her stories have a Nordic flavour.

She has travelled widely and has lived in Austria, Russia, Cyprus, Belgium and Switzerland.Since 1997 she has been based in London, with frequent visits to France.

She is married and has two daughters, now grown up. She has had a lifelong interest in children's stories, particularly those read to her own and other people's children.
