Don Brennus Aléra was a French author and is possibly identical to the author Bernard Valonnes as well as the artists Tack, Esbey and Selby - all of which are suspected to be pseudonyms of Roland Brévannes.

Don Brennus Aléra is one of the major contributors to early 20th century French spanking literature. Between 1903 and 1936 he wrote, illustrated and published about 100 erotic fetish novels in French, mostly of flagellation themes.

Most of his works after 1906 were published by Select Bibliothèque in Massy (Seine-et-Oise) from 1906 to 1908 and then in Sceaux (Seine). It is not unlikely that the author and artist who used so many pseudonyms might have also been the publisher.

Aléra is perhaps best known for his long-running series of femdom novels beginning with Fred: The True History of a Boy Raised as a Girl (1913), a classic story of male humiliation via forced cross-dressing. This was followed by the sequels Frédérique (1921), Frida (1924), Fridoline (1926), and Lina Frido (1927). The books tell the story of Fred de Montignac, raised by a dominating aunt as a young lady, whom she calls Frédérique. She forces him to wear girl's clothing and even pierces his ears - see petticoat punishment for more on this topic. Frédérique is still available as a reprint (see below) or in e-book form.

A Checklist of Works Illustrated by Tack

Tack illustrated flagellation titles published by Select Bibliothèque between 1906 and 1922. Two other artists used by the publisher, Esbey and Selby, followed in the years 1926-1934 and 1935-1938, respectfully. Little was published between 1923 and 1925. What was issued contained unsigned illustrations. The artists styles are so similar it is difficult to determine whether or not they were drawn by the same hand.
