Maarten en de Magie van de Mantel

Today, we are reading a very special true story, because tomorrow is St. Martin's Day. The book tells the real story of Saint Martin. Even as a young boy, he was already brave and heroic—nothing could stop him! But his life changed forever when he met a poor man on a freezing winter night—and we all know that story.

This amusingly written story by Belgian author and  cartoonist Mario de Koninck about the life of Saint Martin is hard to put down. You want to know what happens next, even if you already know the general outline of the story. Nikola Hendrickx’s stunning illustrations make the book even more appealing! It is a wonderful book to read, even if you don’t attend a Waldorf school.
