1874–1943
Known for historical fiction written for younger readers, this Dutch author brought medieval and early European settings to life in adventure-filled stories. His books, including Alewijn, de lijfeigene and Floris de Vijfde, suggest a lasting interest in history, loyalty, and courage.
Very little biographical information was readily available, but library and author records identify E. Molt as a Dutch writer who lived from 1874 to 1943. His work appears in Dutch literary and library databases, and he is associated with historical storytelling aimed at a broad readership.
The titles linked to him point strongly toward a fascination with the past. Works such as Alewijn, de lijfeigene and Floris de Vijfde show an interest in medieval history and dramatic personal struggles, using fiction to make earlier eras feel vivid and accessible.
Because detailed life records were scarce in the sources I could confirm, the clearest picture comes from the books themselves: stories rooted in history, written with an eye for plot and atmosphere, and remembered enough to remain cataloged, digitized, and read long after his lifetime.
