Biography
Sophie Victorine Perrault Fornel was a successful published author who wrote many books under the name of Pierre Perrault. A library was built and dedicated to her in Bourbon Lancy, France where she lived with her husband, Eugene-Alexandre Fornel. Though they both lived in Miami, Dade, Florida and Akron, Ohio for awhile, they returned to France in their later years. Their memorial is located in Bourbon Lancey, France, at the Pierre Perrault Bibliotech.
