Gallic Books was founded in 2007 to publish the very best of French in English. They first brought readers a taste of true French reading with Muriel Barbery’s The Elegance of the Hedgehog, the unassuming story of a Parisian apartment building that became an international bestseller. They have since expanded their catalogue to include brilliant English- language writing from all around the world. The Gallic list now comprises more than 100 works, spanning fiction, crime and noir, memoir and graphic novels. For September 2023 they are publishing the memoir of renowned French chef Alain Ducasse.
