About the author
Roger Dombre was the pen name of a French author born in Lyon in 1859 and died in 1914. Library records and reference sources identify the name as a pseudonym, and her work is closely associated with fiction for children and adolescents.
She wrote a large number of books, with national library records listing well over a hundred works under the Roger Dombre name. Her stories often appeared with publishers such as Mame and Gautier-Languereau and suggest a writer who was especially at home in warm, accessible tales for younger readers.
Although detailed biographical information is not easy to confirm from the sources available here, the publishing record shows a successful and durable career. The continued preservation and reissue of her books point to an author who held a steady place in French popular reading for generations.
