Cissy Van Marxvelt is a Dutch writer. In the Diary of Anne Frank, Anne writes "... And yesterday I finished Cissy Van Marxvelt's latest book. I think she is a first-class writer. I shall definitely let my children read her." That's all I know, sadly :(...
Cissy Van Marxveldt was a Dutch author whose works, particularly the "Joop ter Heul" series, were popular among young girls in the Netherlands. Anne Frank admired Van Marxveldt's writing style and identified with the characters in her books, finding solace and inspiration in them during her time in hiding. Van Marxveldt's relatable and uplifting stories provided Anne Frank with a sense of escapism and comfort in the midst of the challenges she faced.
At the moment you can't buy any Cissy van Marxveldt books in English for the simple reason that except for one book none were translated into English. The only exception is Een Zomerzotheid, which I (Cissy's grandson and an English lit. graduate) translated as a by-product for the film which is planned for this year. This translation has as yet not been published though.
