A University of Montreal graduate, Jean-Pierre Davidts is a professional
translator now living in the Hull-Ottawa area. He has an M.A. in translation
(1975) and a B.Sc. in biology (1973), as well as a B.A. (1970) from the
Collège Mont-Saint-Louis in Montreal. However, it was in his native
Belgium that he developed a love for cartoons and comic books. In 1987,
his story entitled Griffedor et le dragon was awarded first prize
in the writers' competition of the Salon du livre de l'Outaouais. The two
characters, Griffedor and the Dragon, appeared in his first book for children,
a story that received the Desjardins literary award, aimed at rewarding
excellence in a first or second published work.
