Born in the village of Kloosterveen near Assen, de Vries married Alida Gerdina van Wermeskerken in 1930 and the couple had five children. In 1972, de Vries gained national recognition when his novel ''Bartje'' was made into a television series by Willy van Hemert. The personnage of Bartje subsequently came to symbolize the Dutch province of Drenthe.
De Vries wrote a number of regional novels, most famously the coming-of-age novel ''Bartje'' and then ''Bartje Seeks Happiness''. He also wrote ''Journey through the Night'', a children's book about World War II which was published in four volumes between 1951 and 1958. His Bartje books may be considered ''Bildungsromane''.
De Vries died, aged 60, in Zeist. Provided by Wikipedia
