Helena Pielichaty

Helena Pielichaty (pronounced Pierre-li-hatty) is the author of children's books.

Pielichaty was born in Stockholm, Sweden, on 11 September 1955, and moved to England aged five. She had a poem, Litter, published in the Yorkshire Post when she was 11. Most of her childhood was spent in Yorkshire and, as a result, she became a supporter of Huddersfield Town F.C.

She was educated at Breton Hall College, and worked as a teacher between 1978 and 2000.

Pielichaty lives in Nottinghamshire with her husband and two children.
