A Dutch novelist (1827-80); born at Arnheim. He was a painter, but quit the pencil for the pen. His series of "Stories of Betuwe" (a rural district) are specimens of idiomatic expression, faithful portraiture, and unsophisticated humor. The same traits distinguish all his works; but he is at his best amid rural scenes. He published a volume of "Poems" (1873).
