About the author
Born in 1826 and active in Parisian literary life, Eugène Muller was a French writer, textile designer, photographer, and librarian at the Bibliothèque de l'Arsenal. Library records and bibliographic sources also note that he wrote under the pen name Oncle Anselme, especially in the Journal de la jeunesse.
His bibliography is extensive, ranging from fiction and historical pieces to works for younger audiences and general readers. That mix helps explain his appeal as an audiobook author today: his writing sits at the crossroads of popular literature, education, and curiosity-driven reading.
Muller died in 1913, leaving behind a body of work that reflects the broad, lively print culture of 19th-century France. He is remembered not only as an author, but as a versatile cultural figure whose work connected books, images, and everyday reading.
