Nelly Montijn-de Fouw

Nelly Montijn-de Fouw was a Dutch writer remembered for Sagen van Koning Arthur en de Ridders van de Tafelronde, a Dutch retelling of the Arthurian legends. The book was first published in 1920 and has remained the work most closely associated with her.

Her version gathers famous stories of Arthur, Guinevere, Lancelot, Tristan, Percival, and the quest for the Holy Grail, presenting them in an accessible form for modern readers. That mix of legendary material and clear storytelling helped keep these medieval tales alive for Dutch-language audiences.

Reliable biographical detail about her life is limited in the sources I could confirm, so it is safest to describe her as an author whose reputation rests mainly on this influential Arthurian retelling.
