Plain Tales of the North
by Thierry Mallet
About the author
A French writer and fur-trade executive, Thierry Mallet is best known for books shaped by long experience in northern Canada. Contemporary and library sources connect him with Revillon Frères, and introductions to his work describe him as spending many years visiting and inspecting trading posts across remote northern regions.
His best-known titles include Plain Tales of the North (1925) and Glimpses of the Barren Lands (1930). These books mix adventure, observation, and short narrative sketches, giving readers an accessible picture of travel, trading life, wildlife, and encounters in the Canadian North.
Some sources also refer to him as "Captain" Thierry Mallet and note that he later served as president of Revillon Frères in New York. A clear, verifiable portrait image was not available from the sources I could confirm, so no profile image is included.
