Een Jolig Troepje

by Marie Leopold

About the author

Published as M. Leopold, this Dutch author is connected with Een jolig troepje, a children's book first issued in 1909 and reprinted in 1917. The edition preserved by DBNL notes illustrations by B. Midderigh-Bokhorst, suggesting the book belonged to the richly illustrated world of Dutch children's publishing in the early 1900s.

Online library and bookseller records also link the name Marie Leopold to other children's titles, pointing to a body of work aimed at young readers. Beyond those book records, however, clear biographical details are limited in the sources I could confirm, so it is best to treat the author as a lightly documented figure rather than attach uncertain personal facts.

Because the available information is so fragmentary, the books themselves are the main way to appreciate this author: cheerful titles, family-centered themes, and a place in the nostalgic landscape of classic Dutch children's literature.
