About the author
Hector Malot (1830–1907) was a French writer known for novels about childhood and family circumstances. The library holds 23 of his works, including Alleen op de Wereld, Nobody’s Boy, Nobody’s Girl, En famille, and Ghislaine. Nobody’s Boy, better known as Sans famille, tells the wandering coming-of-age story of the foundling Rémi and is his most widely known work; several of his novels center on orphans searching for family, wandering, and belonging. His style is plain and delicate, focusing on shifts in his characters’ fortunes and on emotional portrayal, often showing the hardships of the lower classes through a child’s perspective while conveying warmth and hope. Because public information is limited, details of his life and the nationality and birth and death years not clearly recorded in the library are omitted; nevertheless, the works at hand show his lasting influence in children’s literature and family fiction, and his books have been translated into many languages.
