Biography

Godfried Jan Arnold Bomans (March 2, 1913 – December 22, 1971) was a Dutch writer and television personality. Although highly regarded in the Netherlands, much of his work has not been translated into English.

From his high school days, Bomans demonstrated a strong literary interest; he served as editor of school newspapers and published short stories, including in literary magazines. In 1943, he left his studies and returned to Haarlem, where he aided several persecuted Jews, earning him the honor of Righteous Among the Nations.

He is best remembered for his modern fairy tale books and short, humorous writings filled with wit, parody, and gentle irony. In 1950, he founded an artist club in Haarlem named Teisterbant, which gained recognition primarily for its literary influence rather than other arts. Bomans was widely read during the 1950s and 1960s, and a seven-volume collection of his works was published between 1996 and 1999. His fantasy novel Erik, or the Little Insect Book (1940), popular during the German occupation of the Netherlands (1940–1945), was adapted into a film in 2004.

A devoted admirer of Charles Dickens, Bomans helped establish the Haarlem Branch of the Dickens Fellowship. In 1969, The Dickens Fellowship in London appointed him Vice-President (Honorary Member) in recognition of his efforts to promote Dickens' works. An anthology of his collected Dickens writings was published posthumously in February 1972.
