Williams had been writing since early childhood, encouraged by her uncle Sir Stanley Unwin, who presided over the publishing company Allen and Unwin. While Barbara enjoyed art school, Ursula left after a year, having decided that writing rather than illustrating was for her. Later, they were sent to school in Annecy, in France, before returning home to study at Winchester College of Art. Both Ursula and her sister Barbara were keen riders, with a strong love of nature and animals, as well as a passion for stories and writing. Born in Petersfield, Hampshire, the younger of identical twins, she was first educated at home by a governess, under the guidance of her parents, both of whom were teachers.
