About the author
Bellonie Chantre was a French writer, born in 1866 and died in 1952. She is listed by the Bibliothèque nationale de France under the name Bellonie Chantre, which appears to be the author behind the byline Madame B. Chantre.
She wrote fiction and poetry, and her published work places her among French women authors active around the turn of the 20th century. While easily available biographical detail seems limited, library records confirm a substantial enough body of work to keep her name in circulation.
For readers coming across her today, the appeal is partly historical: her books offer a glimpse of French literary life from another era, and of a writer whose voice has outlasted the period that first produced it.
