About the author
Born in Paris on June 11, 1875, and died there on December 13, 1942, Marie Louise Henriette Bezançon was a French woman of letters. She is remembered especially for popular novels and for children's stories published by houses such as Delagrave and in periodicals including Saint-Nicolas.
Her bibliography shows a versatile career. Alongside fiction for adults, she also wrote stories for young readers and short monologues for performance, suggesting an author who moved comfortably between entertainment, moral storytelling, and light stage writing.
Today, she is one of those authors kept alive through library records, digitized editions, and literary reference sites, which make it possible to rediscover a once-familiar voice from French popular literature.
