Benny Lindelauf
Benny Lindelauf (b. 1964) writes theatre texts and children’s books that stand out for their narrative power and stylistic mastery. His family epic about the Boon sisters (Het tegendeel van zorgen) and his two magical-realistic tales about six brothers who are sent to war (Hoe Tortot zijn vissenhart verloor and Hele verhalen voor een halve soldaat) belong to the canon of Dutch youth literature.
