 Ursula Le Guin was born in 1929 in Berkeley, California. Her mother was a writer and her father an anthropologist. Her childhood was spent in a household filled with talk, argument and discussion, surrounded by books, music and story-telling. With a love of languages, she studied French and Italian literature in college for degrees that would qualify her to teach. In 1953, she married the historian Charles A. Le Guin. She has three children, three grandchildren and lives in Oregon.
She has published six books of poetry, twenty novels, over a hundred short stories, four collections of essays, eleven books for children, and four volumes of translation.
