In 1824, in collaboration with Balzac, he published Jean-Louis, ou la Fille trouvée, 4 vol.
Le Poitevin, who also took an active part in the edition of small newspapers, often borrowed anonymity and hid under the names Viellerglé (anagram of Légreville), Prosper and Saint-Alme.
Auguste Le Poitevin aka Lepoittevin d'Égreville, the son of a well-known actor, began very young with botched but adroit novels he signed Vieillerglé.
[1]Le Poitevin de L’Égreville held under him like a schoolmaster armed with his rule, a dozen young people he dealt with "small morons" whom he trained in the art of sharpening the dagger of mind and hit the right spot.
With Étienne Arago, he composed the vaudevilles Stanislas, ou la Suite de Michel et Christine and Un jour d’embarras, 1824.
