Historical Fiction Maindron, Maurice: Saint-Cendre [FRENCH]

[Chris Jones]

Maurice Maindron (1857-1911) spent his youth working for the French Museum of Natural History, travelling the world to collect zoological samples mostly in Africa and the Far East. He gave up the position at some point in the early 1890s and became a writer both of fiction and non-fiction with a special interest in the history of late 16th and early 17th century France. His extensive knowledge of the areas of historical costume, weaponry, architecture, heraldry and all aspects of everyday life of the Renaissance together with the scientific approach and attention to detail that he had acquired during his years as a zoologist at times give the reader an uncanny feeling that Maindron actually visited the times and places that serve as the background for his novels.

With Saint-Cendre and sequels, M. de Clérambon and Blancador l'avantageux, Maurice Maindron wrote some of his finest novels.
