Eva Lecomte
Best known for Paula the Waldensian, this hard-to-pin-down writer created a faith-centered historical story that stayed in print for generations. Very little biographical information is easy to confirm, which gives the work an old-world, rediscovered feel.

Paula the Waldensian
by Eva Lecomte
About the author
Eva Lecomte is remembered mainly for Paula the Waldensian (also found under the French title Paula, la petite Vaudoise). Surviving catalog and bookseller records consistently connect her name with that story, and public-domain library listings suggest it has remained the work most closely associated with her.
The novel is a historical and religious story set against the Waldensian tradition, following a young girl whose kindness and faith shape the people around her. Modern editions, library listings, and reader communities show that the book has continued to circulate long after its original publication, especially among readers interested in classic Christian fiction and older moral tales.
Beyond that, reliable biographical detail is scarce. I couldn't confirm basic facts such as her dates, a fuller bibliography, or a trustworthy portrait from a strong primary or reference source, so those details are best left open rather than guessed at.
