A. (Anna) Hubert van Beusekom

Anna Christina Helena Hubert van Beusekom (1882–1926) was a Dutch children's author. Sources describe her as a writer of books mainly for girls, and note that she began publishing young: around age twenty she brought out her first book, then went on to write about a dozen more over the next two decades.

She came from a patrician Dutch family and spent much of her life at home with her parents. Accounts of her life say she had limited formal education because her father held old-fashioned views about girls studying, yet she still developed a successful writing career. Her books include Ben (1904), Tante Loesje (1907), Piepkuikentje (1909), Opa en Ineke (1918), and Het oude schrift (1923).

Very little is recorded about her personal life beyond her family background and her work, which may be part of why she feels like a half-hidden figure today. Even so, her stories continued to be cataloged, reprinted, and preserved in Dutch literary archives, suggesting that she was a familiar name to generations of young readers.
