Huriet's works have been published by Éditions Milan, Grasset Jeunesse and Albin Michel in her native country,[2] and a European TV show based on the Beechwood books was launched in 2001.[3] Only the first seven Beechwood stories have seen English translations from Gareth Stevens (in 1991 and 1992).
