Amélia Louisa Perchard (December 28, 1921 – July 19, 2012) was a writer, playwright, and poet in the Bailiwick of Jersey.
Her work poignantly and dramatically recounts the history of her island, in particular the dark years during the German occupation, which she denounces in her writings.
Alongside George F. Le Feuvre, she was one of the most prolific post-World War II Jèrriais-language writers.
[4] Perchard was also active in writing Jèrriais-language song lyrics, which were set to music and recorded, as well as performed by musicians at Norman festivals in Jersey and in Normandy.
Her musical work frequently incorporated adaptations of popular and traditional songs, including translations from English.
