Anne Golon is the pseudonym of Simone Goloubinoff, who together with her husband, Vsevolod Sergeïvich Goloubinoff, known as Serge Golon, wrote the Angélique books. The author of the books is sometimes credited as Serganne Golon. Anne was born in 1921 in France. He was a Russian aristocrat who had fled Russia during the revolution, and they met during World War II.
The first Angélique book, at over 900 pages, was published in 1957 in France (and in 1956 in Germany) in two volumes to make it "easier" to read, entitled Angélique, Marquise of the Angels and Angélique, the Road to Versailles. The books are not technically romances, more historic fiction with the continuing story of Angélique (and her husband, Joffrey de Peyrac) spanning the ages beginning in France during the time of Louis XIV and continuing to the "New World" and in fact around the world. The books were published by Bantam in the United States and by Pan Books and other publishers in the United Kingdom. The saga of Angélique has been sold over 100 million books, has had 320 publishers and over 45 translations.
Serge Golon died in 1972, but Anne continued to write. The last Angélique book was published in 1985. Anne is reported to live in southern France.
