Шаблон:Short description Henriette Major (January 6, 1933 – November 17, 2006) was a Canadian writer living in Quebec.[1]

She was born in Montreal and studied at the Institut pédagogique de Montréal. However, she soon discovered that she did not want to be a teacher. After becoming a mother, she began writing down stories that she told to her children so that she would remember them. She tried other occupations, including working as a researcher for radio and television, but finally decided to make a career of writing. Major wrote scripts for several television series, including Шаблон:Interlanguage link multi and Шаблон:Interlanguage link multi and two plays for Théâtre sans fil: Jeux de rêves and La couronne du destin. She published almost a thousand articles for various magazines,[1] including Châtelaine and Maclean's,[2] and about a hundred children's books in Quebec and France. In 1978, her television series Шаблон:Interlanguage link multi received the Prix des émissions éducatives.

She died suddenly at home in Montreal at the age of 73.[2]

The Prix littéraire Henriette-Major was created in her honour by the publishing house Dominique et Compagnie.[3]
