History
Founded in 1859 as Gautier, the company was renamed Gautier-Languereau in 1917 when Maurice Languereau became full partner with his uncle Henri Gautier.[1] They specialized in children's books and magazines and religious literature. Their biggest success came with the weekly magazine for girls La Semaine de Suzette,[2] published from 1905, and its flagship comic, Bécassine. The first Bécassine books appeared in 1913.[3] From that year on, the stories were written by Languereau.
In 1991, the company was acquired by Hachette.
