adopts her name from the book "Lijsje Lorresnor" that came out in 1932 and was written by J.M. Selleger-Elout. The cover and the illustrations were made by Claudine Doorman.

It is based on the life of the little girl Jansje van Wonderen, who really lived and worked 30 years as a servant-girl.

In the book Lijsje Lorresnor is a small, blonde and shy ten years old girl. She lives with her parents and two little sisters in a small working-class house, that is situated in the neighbourhood of a rubbish-heap. Her mother conducts a very tiny shop in that same house, while her father tries to make a living as an agricultural labourer. Their most important possession is a cow named Bonte, Lijsje loves her very much. There is less money for buying clothes and other things, that is why the little sisters frequently root around (snorren) at the rubbish-heap to search for useable things. When children at school find out that Lijsje obtained her hat with the red ribbon that way, they give her the nickname Lijsje Lorresnor.
