Ursula Jones is a British actor and author of children's fiction. Her picture book The Witch's Children and the Queen won a gold Nestlé Smarties Book Prize, and the sequel The Witch's Children Go to School won the inaugural Roald Dahl Funny Prize.[2][3]
Her elder sister was the children's fantasy author, Diana Wynne Jones. After Diana Wynne Jones's death, Jones completed her unfinished manuscript, The Islands of Chaldea.[4][5] The book was a finalist in the Mythopoeic Awards.
As an actor, she worked with Alan Ayckbourn, with the Royal Shakespeare Company, and briefly played Elsie Duckworth in Coronation Street.[6]
