He was born in year 22 of the [[Toghon Temür|Zhizheng era]] (1362). In 1368, he evacuated from Dadu (now Beijing ) with his father and grandfather. In 1369, the [[Ming Dynasty]] conquered [[Shangdu]] and retreated to [[Yingchang]] (now the west bank of Dalinur Lake, [[Hexigten Banner]], [[Inner Mongolia]]). In 1370, after his grandfather died, he was captured by the Ming army in Yingchang on the fifth [[Chinese calendar|lunar month]] and sent to the capital (then [[Nanjing]]). He was held prisoners for five years, in which the Ming named him Marquis ({{zh|t=侯|s=侯|p=Hóu}}) of [[Chongli District|Chongli]]. In the ninth month of the lunar calendar in 1374, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty freed him. There is no record of his subsequent life.
In his youth, Van Loon was already interested in fantasy horror stories. He read the books of [[J. R. R. Tolkien|Tolkien]], [[Bram Stoker]], and [[H. P. Lovecraft]], as well as stories about local sagas and legends such as ''Het Limburgs Sagenboek''. He had no intention of becoming a writer, but after high school he went on to study as an illustrator at the Art Academy of [['s-Hertogenbosch|Den Bosch]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=van Dijk |first1=Wouter |title=Griezelvader Paul van Loon gaat pas met pensioen als zijn verhalen uitsterven |url=https://www.vice.com/nl/article/g5gyx4/paul-van-loon-interview |publisher=Vice |access-date=6 June 2022 |language=nò}}</ref> Van Loon did not complete his studies there. He did, however, regularly create stories for himself for the drawings he made during his studies. After he sent one of these stories to the ''[[Brabants Nieuwsblad]]'' in 1977, he was asked to write more stories, as his first proved popular with readers. Van Loon accepted this request and wrote more stories. Other magazines also showed interest in his work, such as ''[[Donald Duck Weekblad]]'', ''Okki'', ''Taptoe'' and ''Ezelsoor''.<ref>{{cite web |title=PAUL VAN LOON IN OKKI |url=https://www.okki.nl/paul-van-loon-in-okki/ |publisher=Okki |access-date=6 June 2022 |language=nl}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Paul van Loon |url=https://www.theater.nl/artiesten/paul-van-loon/?acceptCookies=629dd4f35dd0a |publisher=Theater.nl |access-date=6 June 2022}}</ref>

Van Loon's first book was published in 1983. Initially he illustrated his books himself, but as he focused more and more on writing, other illustrators took over this work.
