Sylvie Baussier
Sylvie Baussier is a French children’s author and editor, specialising in mythology, history and horse books. She began her career as a librarian, then an editor for encyclopaedias for fifteen years, before moving fully to children’s literature. Baussier has a Baccalaureate in Life Sciences, and according to her website gained the equivalent of an MA in sociologie de la littérature at Paris III.
On her website, Baussier says that she became a children’s author because "books are my life" and "as a child, I would have liked to be surrounded by books" (translated from French). She particularly loves book fairs.
Her other works include educational children’s books through Kidicoc such as Les Vikings [The Vikings] (2011) and L'Egypte des Pharaons [Egypt of the Pharaohs] (2011), Greek myth books such as Moi, Ligia, Sirène [Me, The Siren] (2020) and Moi, le Minotaure [Me, The Minotaur] (2020), children’s mysteries such as the Mystères à Versailles series and horse books such as the Le club des poneys series.
