The Books of Lini Grol

Lini Richarda Grol, was a retired registered nurse originating from the Netherlands. Her writing and illustrations can be found in publications in Holland, Belgium, South Africa, Canada and the United States.

She had been on several television programs, and hosted her own show for four seasons on Cable TV in the Niagara area, to promote creative people and their work. She founded the Canadian Poets Penclub and published 11 books for them.

For her work she received an award from the Laura Secord Company, the Canadian Authors Award from the Canada Club of Hamilton, and the Bourgoyne Award from the Y.W.C.A. of St. Catharines.

She was a member of the Canadian Authors Association - Niagara Branch, as well as of the Association of Professional Women Writers, of Niagara Falls, NY, the Tower Poetry Society, of Hamilton and other creative associations. In 1967 she founded Trillium Books as a Centennial project. She continued to be a vital, creative and prolific writer in Brampton, ON until her passing August 1, 2018 at the age of 105.

Without her early influence and encouragement, this publishing company may not have developed into what it is today. Before her retirement to Brampton, we acquired an inventory of her books, and have finally assembled the information for you here. The books are in pristine condition, some of them numbered, some signed. Some are the last of their print runs, and when they have found good homes, there are no more.
