About the author:
It is in Brussels, where she has lived as an expatriate for 20 years — moving between literature, television and professional training — that Fabienne Blanchut has found her balance. Published since 2005 by numerous publishing houses (24 to date, with 161 titles published), and translated into 28 languages, she, who as a child devoured the stories of Jules Verne, the Comtesse de Ségur and Enid Blyton, now invents characters and worlds of her own that strike a chord with readers. Her recipe: a boundless imagination and unwavering loyalty to the young reader she once was. In 2014, she was awarded a Dargaa d’or by Magazine Avenue Montaigne and the French-speaking community in Belgium, recognising both her career and the reach of her art. That same year, she was named one of the “Frenchwomen of the Year 2014”.
