Tartarin of Tarascon
Alphonse Daudet

Page 183 of 183


Alphonse Daudet was born of poor parents at Nimes in 1840.  He
studied in the Lyons Lyceum, and then became usher in a school at
Alais.  Going to Paris to seek his fortune in literature in 1858, he
succeeded in publishing a book of verses entitled Les Amoreuses,
which led to his employment by several newspapers.  He published
many novels and tales, and about half a dozen plays.  His most
popular work is "Les Morticoles." His son, Leon Daudet, is a
litterateur of promise.
