You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

==Biography==
Paul Biegel was born in Bussum in 1925. His father, Hermann Biegel, was of German descent, and owned a building materials shop. With his wife Madeleine Povel-Guillot he had nine children, six girls and three boys, of whom Paul was the youngest. He was not a prolific reader as a child, preferring to play outside. His favourite books were the fairy tales of the brothers Grimm and the works of [[Jules Verne]]. He studied in Bussum (primary school) and [[Amsterdam]], graduating in 1945.

His first story, ''De ontevreden kabouter'' ("The unhappy gnome"), written when he was 14 years old, was printed in the newspaper ''[[De Tijd]]''.<ref name=Volkskrant>((cite news |first=Arjan |last=Peters |title=Meesterverteller met een rovershart |trans-title=Master story teller with a robber's heart |url=http://www.volkskrant.nl/kunst/article361530.ece |publisher=[[de Volkskrant]] |date=22 October 2006 |access-date=June 23, 2009 |language=nl))</ref> He wanted to become a pianist, but decided that he didn't have enough talent.<ref name=NRC>((cite news |first=Karel |last=Berkhout |title=Muzikale meesterverteller |trans-title=Musical master story teller |url=http://www.nrc.nl/kunst/article1735413.ece/Muzikale_meesterverteller?service=Print |publisher=[[NRC Handelsblad]] |date=23 October 2006 |access-date=June 23, 2009 |language=nl))</ref> He went to the United States for a year after [[World War II]], where he worked for ''((ill|The Knickerbocker Weekly|nl))''. After his return, he worked as an editor for Dutch magazines like the ''((ill|Avrobode|nl))''.<ref>((cite news  |title=Kinderboekenschrijver Paul Biegel overleden |url=http://www.volkskrant.nl/kunst/article361471.ece/Kinderboekenschrijver_Paul_Biegel_overleden |publisher=[[de Volkskrant]] |date=22 October 2006 |access-date=June 23, 2009 |language=nl))</ref> He commenced Law Studies, but stopped these in 1953.<ref name=Volkskrant/> He wrote several newspaper comics, the most important of which was ''Minter and Hinter'', which appeared in ''[[Het Vrije Volk]]'' for ten stories and 579 episodes. In 1959, he started working in the comic studio of [[Marten Toonder]] as a comics writer for the ''Kappie'' series.<ref name=Generaal>((cite book |last1=Biegel |first1=Paul |title=De brieven van de generaal |series=Boektoppers |year=2003 |orig-year=1977 |publisher=Malmberg |location=Den Bosch |language=nl |isbn=90-345-1273-8 |pages=152–155 ))</ref>

He only published his first book, ''De gouden gitaar'', in 1962. He became one of the most important Dutch writers for children in 1965, when he received the [[Gouden Griffel]] for ''Het sleutelkruid''. In 1973 he won the [[Theo Thijssen-prijs|Staatsprijs voor kinder- en jeugdliteratuur]] literary award. He has written over 50 books,<ref name=Generaal/> mostly published by [[Holland (publisher)|Holland]], and many of his books have been translated in English, French, German, Danish, Swedish, Welsh, South African, Japanese, Turkish, Greek, and Spanish. His own favourites were ''De tuinen van Dorr'' and ''De soldatenmaker''.<ref name=NRC/> Other authors he appreciated included [[J. R. R. Tolkien]], [[J. K. Rowling]], and [[Hans Christian Andersen]].<ref name=Volkskrant/>

Paul Biegel lived in [[Amsterdam]]. He married Marijke Sträter in 1960, with whom he had a daughter, Leonie, in 1963,<ref name=Generaal/> and in 1964 a son, Arthur, who committed suicide when he was 28.<ref name=NRC/> His marriage ultimately failed, and only at a later age did he publicly admit to being homosexual. He died in 2006<ref name=NRC/> and was buried at [[Zorgvlied (cemetery)|Zorgvlied cemetery]]. In 2007, publishers [[Holland (publisher)]] and [[Lemniscaat]] started reissuing twenty of his best works in the ''Biegelbibliotheek''.<ref>((cite web |title=Uitgeverij Holland en Lemniscaat en de Biegel Bibliotheek |url=http://www.lemniscaat.nl/static/nieuws/nieuwsbrief/persberichten/BiegelBieb.htm |publisher=Lemniscaat |language=nl |date=February 2009 |access-date=24 June 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110716081931/http://www.lemniscaat.nl/static/nieuws/nieuwsbrief/persberichten/BiegelBieb.htm |archive-date=16 July 2011 |url-status=dead ))</ref>
