The extremely meticulous biography of JC Kannemeyer captures the life and times of this interesting and versatile person in Leipoldt, n Lewensverhaal (Kannemeyer 1999). Afrikaans text.
Christian Frederik Louis Leipoldt, usually referred to as C. Louis Leipoldt, 28 December 1880 – 12 April 1947) was a South African poet, dramatist, medical doctor, reporter and food expert. Together with Jan F. E. Celliers and J. D. du Toit, he was one of the leading figures in the poetry of the Second Afrikaans Movement. Apart from poetry, Leipoldt wrote novels, plays, stories, children's books, cookbooks and a travel diary. He is numbered amongst the greatest of the Afrikaner poets and he was described by D. J. Opperman, himself a noted South African poet, as "our most versatile artist".
