Grönloh was a businessman by profession, but as Nescio he is mainly remembered for the three novellas ‘De uitvreter’ [The Moocher], ‘Titaantjes’ [Little Titans] and ‘Dichtertje’ [Little Poet]. His reputation as an important Dutch writer was only established after his death.        ‘Nescio’ is Latin for ‘I do not know’ and is likely a wordplay on the term ‘nomen nescio’, used in literature when the author of a cited work is unknown. See also Nomen nescio. Source: ‘Nescio’, Wikipedia, retrieved 12 October 2013 previous            A–Z            next
