About the author
B. de Jandin is a little-documented author best known for Om en door den Peloponnesus, a Dutch-language travel book about the Peloponnese in Greece. The work is listed by Project Gutenberg, and archive records describe it as a travel title focused on Greece.
Because reliable biographical sources on B. de Jandin are scarce, it is hard to say much with confidence about the author’s life beyond this surviving publication. What can be confirmed is that the book preserves an early-20th-century traveler’s view of the region, mixing place, history, and on-the-ground observation in a way that still feels vivid for curious modern readers.
