About the author

Born in Condé-sur-l’Escaut in northern France, Charles Deulin was a French writer, journalist, and dramatic critic. French reference sources identify him as Charlemagne Deulin, known as Charles Deulin, and give his dates as January 5, 1827, to September 29, 1877.

He wrote fiction as well as journalism, and he is especially associated with stories shaped by legend, folktale, and the fantastic. That mix of literary style and traditional storytelling helped give his work a distinctive voice within 19th-century French literature.
