Geneviève Huriet (b. August 24, 1927[1] in France) is the author of the Beechwood Bunny Tales (La Famille Passiflore) children's book series. Huriet's works have been published by Éditions Milan, Grasset Jeunesse and Albin Michel in her native country,[2] and a European TV show based on the Beechwood books was launched in 2001.[3] Only the first seven Beechwood stories have seen English translations from Gareth Stevens (in 1991 and 1992).

Huriet once worked as a librarian,[4] and began writing for her nine grandchildren before launching her career.[2][5] She lives in Paris with her diplomat husband and four children, and has travelled abroad in Japan, Britain, Angola and elsewhere.[2]
