Educated in law at Paris and Rouen, Malot turned to literature and began working as a drama critic for Lloyd Francais. In 1859, he published his first novel Les Amants, the first part of his trilogy, Victimes d'Amour. For a time, he worked for L'Opinion Nationale as a literary critic. His best-known work, Sans Famille (Nobody's Boy), appeared in 1878 and was extremely popular and helped to establish Malot as a writer of children's literature.
