Aart van der Leeuw (; 23 June 1876 – 17 April 1931) was a Dutch writer of prose fiction and poetry. His reputation rests mostly on two novels, ''Ik en mijn speelman'' (1927) and ''De kleine Rudolf'' (1930). Biography Aart van der Leeuw was born in Hof van Delft into a family of notable merchants.

He attended the gymnasium in Delft, but he was a dreamer as a child who suffered in the harsh school environment where he was ridiculed.

All this contributed to his graduating only at age 22, in 1898. He began publishing prose and poetry in his high school years (in the studen ...
