Ludmila Vengrovskaya

The author, Ludmila Vengrovskaya, was born in the Siberian city of Krasnoyarsk, Russia. She grew up in an environment where the traditional craftsmen’s way of life was commonplace for the residents within the city. During her childhood, Ludmila listened to fascinating fairy tales and folk stories, as well as enjoying and advancing her own arts and crafts skills. These things, with time, developed Ludmila’s imagination and she became a very creative artist and later a writer.

After moving to England to start a family, Ludmila continued to develop her creative skills and became a graphic designer, teacher and children’s book writer. In her first written and self-illustrated children’s fiction book, Seven Woodlands Magic Stories, Ludmila combined her vivid imagination with some elements of folklore fairy tales. She presented her charming and colourful magical stories with underlining morals that teach young readers to choose to behave in the right way in life.
