Cendrine Wolf
Cendrine Wolf (* 1969 in Colmar ) is a French librarian and author of books for young people.
Life
Cendrine Wolf trained as a sports teacher and worked in the social field. She later worked as a librarian in the Strasbourg city library. In 2005 she had the idea for a book for young people about a 13-year-old who moves to London with her parents and discovers that she can do magic. Together with her colleague Anne Plichota , she wrote the first book about Oksa Pollock and her experiences within six months . Initially, the two authors self-published the novel after the French publisher Gallimard rejected publication in 2007. The retail chain Fnac added the books to its range. The novels were later published by the Paris publisher XO Editions. The initial circulation of the first novel was 50,000 copies. It has now been published in 21 languages and has a circulation of 100,000 copies. The authors made it onto the French bestseller lists with their novels .
The novel Die Unverhoffte was published in 2011 as an audio book in a German reading version, read by Cathlen Gawlich, directed by Frank Gustavus, in the translation by Bettina Bach and Lisa-Maria Rust by Oetinger audio. Cendrine Wolf lives in Strasbourg and now devotes herself exclusively to work as a writer, while Anne Plichota continues to work as a librarian.
