''[[De Vriend der Kinderen]]'' is a collection of plays for young people (in 8 volumes),  possibly a [[Dutch]] translation of  '''''[[Théâtre à l'Usage des Jeunes Personnes, ou Théâtre de l'Éducation]]''''' ("Theatre for use by young people, or theatre for education"), by Madame de Genlis (1746–1830)[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St%C3%A9phanie_F%C3%A9licit%C3%A9,_comtesse_de_Genlis], though [[J. Suasso de Lima]]([[F.C.L. Bosman]], 1928[http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/bosm012dram01_01/], p. 346) seems to suggest that it was originally a German collection).

The volumes were a source of plays for a number of Cape Town companies, notably the school run by [[J. Suasso de Lima|De Lima]] himself.
 
 
 
In addition he also translated ''[[Théâtre à l'Usage des Jeunes Personnes, ou Théâtre de l'Éducation]]'' ("Theatre for use by young people, or theatre for education"), a standard work for children by Madame De Genlis, into [[Dutch]] for use by himself and other teachers and directors. Bosman refers to De Genlis's collection as ''[[Le Théâtre des Enfants]]'' ("The theatre for children") and also mentions another collection, ''[[De Vriend der Kinderen]]'' (The children's friend"), which he (or De Lima) claimed to be an original German collection, but it is more likely that both titles simply refer to De Genlis monumental work in 4 volumes, published 1779-1780.
