1854–1918
A Quebec writer with a playful streak, he is best remembered for turning history and language into lively, humorous reading. His work carries the flavor of early 20th-century French Canadian culture and a clear delight in satire.

by Ephrem Chouinard
Éphrem Chouinard (1854–1918) is identified in the Répertoire du patrimoine culturel du Québec as an author. Surviving catalog records show that he published in French and that his work has remained visible through later library and digital editions.
He is especially associated with Petit histoire des grandes rois de Angleterre, published in Quebec in 1910 and now available through Project Gutenberg. The book presents English royal history in a deliberately comic, conversational style, blending historical material with playful language and a distinctly French Canadian voice.
Library listings also connect him with other titles, including Conférence prononcée au Collège de Lévis, Le Kaiser en enfer, and Le parler français à Québec. Taken together, those records suggest a writer interested not only in humor, but also in public speaking, current events, and the character of spoken French in Quebec.
