South African writer and editor (1919–1985) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elizabeth (Elise) Muller (11 March 1919 – 5 November 1985) was a South African writer and editor of Afrikaans origin. She was born in Ceres, Western Cape and enrolled at the University of Stellenbosch but had to withdraw early on due to the onset of tuberculosis. The prolonged period of enforced rest turned her towards writing. Literary success came gradually, and she won the Hertzog Prize in 1957 for her short story collection Die vrou op die skuit.
