Edmond FranA ois Valentin About (1828-1885) was a French novelist, publicist and journalist. He made his name as an entertaining anti-clerical writer. In Tolla (1855), About was charged with drawing too freely on an earlier Italian novel, Vittoria Savelli (1841). This aroused prejudice against him, and he was the object of numerous attacks. The Lettres daun Bon Jeune Homme, written to the Figaro under the signature of aValentin de Quevillya, provoked more animosities. During the next few years, he wrote novels, stories, a play (which failed), a book-pamphlet on the Roman question, many pamphlets on other subjects of the day, innumerable newspaper articles, some art criticisms, rejoinders to the attacks of his enemies, and popular manuals of political economy, LaA B C du Travailleur (1868) and Le Progres (1864). His more serious novels include Madelon (1863), LaInfAcentsme (1867), and Le Roman daun Brave Homme (1880). He is best remembered as a farceur, for the books Le Roi des Montagnes (1856), Le Nez daun Notaire (1862), LaHomme A laOreille Cassee (1862) and Le Cas de M. Guerin (1862)
