Louis Henri Boussenard (4 October 1847, Escrennes, Loiret – 11 September 1910 in Orléans) was a French author of adventure novels, dubbed "the French Rider Haggard" during his lifetime, but known better presently in Eastern Europe than in Francophone countries.

A physician by profession, Boussenard travelled throughout the French colonies, especially in Africa. Read more on Wikipedia
