Pierre Dubois (born 19 July 1945), is an internationally recognized French specialist in everything related to enchantment. He is an author, Franco-Belgian comics (''bande dessinée'') scriptwriter, storyteller and lecturer at the origin of renewed interest in fairies and little people in France.〔 Fascinated quite young by fairy tales and Fairytale fantasy, he became an illustrator after only a short study of Fine Arts. He has brought together local legends and recreated them in radio and television shows for over thirty years. He is the inventor of elficology (''elficologie'') as a name for the study of the "little people" (fairies and other similar beings), although it was originally just a joke on his part. His first comic book was published in 1986 and knew only a success of esteem. Since then he has produced one each year and also made regular appearances on television and at conferences, always in the area of fairy tales, dreams and legends related to the fairies, who have become his specialty. It is largely thanks to his encyclopedias of fairies, imps, and elves, results of twenty years of research and published in the 1990s, that Pierre Dubois won his international recognition as a French specialist in everything involving magic .〔〔 These encyclopedias sold thousands of copies at a time when they were the very first works of their kind in France. Since then the works of Pierre Dubois, whether art books, encyclopedias, collections of short stories or collections of stories for adults or children have experienced a certain success, marked by scholarship and humor everywhere. Pierre Dubois has himself become a source of inspiration for other writers and designers who have taken up the idea of elficology. == Biography == Pierre Dubois is "a jack of all trades" who does as well at radio, television, and cinema, as in the literary world or the comic strip. In his speeches, his lectures and his interviews, he regularly evokes anecdotes from his childhood and his encounter with "the spirit of the place." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pierre Dubois (author)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
