About the author
Born in Paris on April 20, 1887, Jean Mauclère was a French journalist and writer who published extensively in the first half of the 20th century. Reliable library and reference sources describe him as the author of many books, including novels for younger readers, and note that he died in Le Raincy on March 11, 1951.
His writing ranged across several kinds of books: fiction for youth, historical and geographic works, maritime tales, short pieces, and essays. French reference sources also note that he was several times honored by the Institut de France, which suggests the respect he earned in literary and cultural circles during his lifetime.
One of the most distinctive parts of his career was his interest in Lithuania. Alongside his fiction, he published works connected to Lithuanian history, culture, and religion, giving his bibliography an unusual international dimension for a French popular author of his era.
