The Nobel Prize-winning poet Severt once said: "Since ancient times, there has been a superstition that childhood is not only innocent, but also like a garland made of flowers of happiness, only happiness and carefree." But this is not the case. Childhood is actually full of contradictions and doubts, and they do not say it because they have not yet found the appropriate language to express. ”
Fairy tales are like seeds that stir up children's joy and sorrow, germinating, growing and blossoming into beautiful flowers. The founder of modern French children's literature, The Countess of Séguire, wrote about the real world of children— what they saw and heard, their eccentricities, their cuteness, and the true agitation of their little minds. The thoughts and feelings that the children did not know how to express, and the pictures of their lives, slowly unfolded under the pen of Countess Ségur.
The founder of the French "fairy tale novel", the Countess of Séguire, began to create stories for her grandchildren after becoming a grandmother, she wrote trivial daily routines, wrote stories that were staged every day in her own home and neighbors' homes, and wrote about the real situations and emotions that children experienced when they grew up.
In the field of French children's literature, the Countess of Séguiourt is a shining name with pink hues, as she was the first generation of authors of the "Pink Book Series" opened by the Archet press in the 1850s for children. For many French, childhood without the "Pink Book Series" was a missed adventure.
Nearly two centuries later, the works of countess Séguiour have never dropped out of the top ten of the French children's book list and have been translated into national languages.
In the pen of Countess Ségur, children's lives are not only sunshine and love, but also dark clouds, storms, but family and friendship, tolerance and teaching can always dispel the shadows and make their world clear again. For this reason, she is also known as the "Balzac of the Children".
