I'd like to chime in and recommend you Stefan Zweig's biography of Montaigne. There's a beautiful description of Montaigne's childhood. He came from a similar family (financially secure), but reading how his father went about raising his son is very inspirational (on par with Gibran's 'On Children' in The Prophet). And don't worry, it's a short book, unlike the actual Essais.
