About the author
Marguerite Du Parquet is a little-documented French author active in the 19th century. Modern library and public-domain catalogs consistently list her as the author of works including Jeux et exercices des jeunes filles, and French Wikisource places her among 19th-century French women writers.
The titles linked to her name suggest a writer interested in education, conduct, and recreation. Jeux et exercices des jeunes filles points to a hands-on, activity-based style for young readers, while catalogs also associate her with Gouverneur de princes, 1737-1830, showing a range that may have included both instructional and historical subjects.
Very little reliable biographical detail appears to survive online beyond her published work, so it is safer to remember her through the books themselves: practical, period pieces from 19th-century French print culture, with a clear interest in teaching through amusement and useful knowledge.
