About the author
E. Molt was a Dutch writer whose works were published from around the turn of the 20th century into the 1930s. Project Gutenberg identifies the author as "Molt, E., 1874–1943," and the Digital Library for Dutch Literature lists a body of work that includes historical fiction and books for younger readers.
The bibliography in DBNL shows a strong interest in the past. Titles linked to the author include Alewijn, de lijfeigene (1901), Dieryc, de schrijnwerker (1902), Floris de vijfde (1906), Schooljongens lief en leed (1908), Geïllustreerde wereldgeschiedenis voor oud- en jong Nederland (1914), and Oranje boven. Een boek voor jong en oud (1930). The range suggests a writer who liked to mix storytelling with history and education.
Because reliable biographical detail is scarce in the sources I could confirm, it is safest to remember E. Molt primarily through the books themselves: readable historical narratives aimed at making the past vivid for ordinary readers, especially the young.
