Arnaud Berquin September 1747 in Bordeaux - 21 December 1791 was a French children's author. His most famous work was L'Ami des Enfants 1782-1783 which was first translated into English in 1783-1784. The work remained popular until the middle of the nineteenth century. Berquin's stories consisted of events that might happen to children in their everyday lives-they did not contain fairy tales or other imaginative literature. His books envision childhood reading as a familial exercise; for example some of his "stories" are actually plays with parts for every member of the family. Berquin's books helped solidify the creation of the nuclear family for "if Berquin's work has a theme it is that parents and children live in a perfect symbiosis the parents looking after their children's interests and the children if behaving properly filling their parents with joy.
