Claude Seignolle Author

Claude Seignolle (1917-2018) was originally a folklorist and archaeologist before he turned his hand to writing. He spent most of his life in the Sologne region, where The Unwelcome – originally published in English under its French title of La Malvenue – and much of his other fiction is set. His legacy continues in his home country thanks to the annual Prix Claude Seignolle, which is awarded to the best novel that draws on French folklore.
