Marie-Madeleine, sometimes called Marguerite de Lubert, whose life is little known, is the author of wonderful folk tales. De Lubert was the daughter of Louis de Lubert, president of the Third Chamber of the Inquiry of Parliament, amateur musician (violin) and founder on 10 January 1722 of one of the first amateur orchestras in Paris, the Academy of Mellophiletes.
She corresponded with Voltaire, and sent him a play of verses in 1732.[2]
