About the author

Henr. de Holl is known primarily for a small group of Dutch children’s poetry books published by G.B. van Goor Zonen in Gouda. These include De kikkers en de ganzen (1920), De hazen en de kabouters, Van zeven kleine eendjes, and De biggetjes en de haan.

The surviving books are playful, rhythmic picture-book verses for young readers. They were illustrated by Greet Feuerstein, whose lively drawings accompanied stories about animals, children, and imaginary woodland adventures. Little additional biographical information about the author has been reliably identified.
