About the author

M. C. van Doorn is identified in Dutch literary sources as M.C. van Oven-van Doorn, a Dutch author included in reference works on children's literature. She is associated with early 20th-century Dutch writing for young readers.

Her best-known surviving work appears to be Eduard Kerner, first published in 1907 and later preserved in digital archives, including Project Gutenberg and Dutch literary databases. Contemporary material linked to the book notes that it was illustrated by B. Midderigh-Bokhorst.

Reliable biographical details beyond that are limited in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to remember her as a historical Dutch children's author whose work has been kept accessible through archival and public-domain collections.
