Waldemar Bonsels was a German writer of children's books.

Though he wrote only one children's book in the strict sense, Die Biene Maja , another work of his, People in the Sky -- even if not a children's book per se -- has a much deeper mystical layer showing the unity of all creation and its relationship to God. There are a number of novels and shorter stories dealing with love as Eros and on the higher level of divine love in the spirit of romanticism , with the relationship between man and nature in a simple life unchanged by modern civilization and also including a historical novel from the time of Jesus . He travelled extensively in Europe and Asia. Voyage in India is the fruit of one of these travels.

His famous work Die Biene Maja also served the basis for a Croatian opera for children written by Bruno Bjelinski, making Bonsels work known to an international audience, and was adapted as a children's cartoon series by German TV.
