Gaspard-Georges Pescow, Marquis de Cherville (1821–1898)

Cherville, Gaspard-Georges Pescow, Marquis de (shār-vēl’). A French novelist; born at Chartres, 1821; died in 1898. He was for several years collaborator with the elder Dumas; about 40 volumes were the fruit of the partnership. Independently he contributed to the Paris Temps several admirable sketches and stories of rural life and the chase. A few of his studies have been published in sumptuously illustrated editions; e.g., ‘Life in the Country’ (1879).
