Yuriy Feodosiyovich Yarmish (Ukranian: Юрій Феодосійович Ярмиш) - Ukrainian children`s writer, master of the author`s fairy tale, candidate of philological sciences, Honored Worker of Culture of the Ukrainian SSR.

Born into a family of teachers. Yuri`s father was a student and friend of the famous Ukrainian historian Dmitry Ivanovich Yavornytsky , who often visited the Yarmyshs and, with his stories, had a certain influence on the formation of the personality of the future writer.

During the Great Patriotic War, the family was evacuated to the Urals. In 1944 they moved to Drohobych in the Lviv region. During the holidays, Yuri visited his uncle, a border guard, who in the early 50s of the last century served in Transcarpathia, near Rakhiv. During that period, Yuri wrote his first poems. However, he later became a storyteller, not a poet.

In 1950, a group of writers from Kiev came to Drohobych for creative meetings, they also visited the famous Drohobych school, where they drew attention to Yuri Yarmysh: they advised the talented young man to get a literary education. Yuri finished school in Nikopol. And in 1953 he entered the journalism faculty of the T. G. Shevchenko Kiev State University. As Yuriy Fedoseyevich recalls, on the eve of graduation he dreamed about the plot of his first fairy tale `Vitrisko`, which determined his future destiny.

After graduating from university in 1958, the young writer began his career at the Crimean State Publishing House in Simferopol. And in 1960 his first collection of fairy tales was published, called, like his first fairy tale, “Vitrisko”. In 1963, Yuri Yarmysh, at that time the author of four children`s books, was admitted to the Writers` Union of Ukraine. In the same year he became editor-in-chief of the Pioneriya magazine, where he worked for eleven years. From 1974 to 1988 Yuriy Fedoseyevich worked as editor-in-chief of the journal of the Union of Writers of Ukraine `Rainbow`. Later he became a professor of the department of periodicals of the Institute of Journalism of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, a candidate of philological sciences.

Yuri Yarmysh also worked as a literary researcher in the study of fairy tales as a literary genre and in the study of children`s literature. He was a member of the International Society of Researchers of Literature for Children and Young People.

During his life, the writer has published more than 60 books of stories and fairy tales for children, parables, fables, including `Golden boat` (Golden boat), `Two maestri` (Two masters), `Chalivni stitches` (Magic paths), ` The Great Mislivets `(Big Hunter),` Zhachok and Soloveyko `(Hedgehog and Nightingale),` Sweet Marzipan `and others. The writer`s books have been translated into fifteen languages.

Yuri Fedoseevich traveled a lot, visited many countries of the world (among them England, Canada, USA, Balkans, India). Then he told about what he saw in a series of documentary travel books, including `By the Roads of India`, `Nabat of Hiroshima`, `The World of Troubles and Hopes.`
