About the author
Writing as Jacques Fréhel, Alice Télot was a French author born in 1861 and active across novels, short fiction, and children's literature. Library and reference sources identify Jacques Fréhel as her pseudonym, and also note the name Mme Jules Martin.
Her published works include Dorine (1888), Bretonne (1891), Déçue (1893), Tablettes d’argiles (1894), La Fille aux yeux de congre (1898), Vaine pâture (1899), Le Cabaret des larmes (1902), Les Ailes brisées (1903), Le Précurseur (1905), and La Guirlande sauvage (1910). Reference listings also show that Tablettes d’argiles received the Académie française's Prix Lambert, while Les Ailes brisées received the Prix Jules Favre.
The surviving public record available online is fairly brief, but it shows a writer with a steady career and a broad range, moving between novels and shorter prose over more than two decades. I couldn't confirm a suitable authenticated portrait from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included here.
