This is measurable in the global sales of their books after so many years, great-grandmothers loved them and now their great-grandchildren do too! Now that the book has finally been reprinted, it is once again accessible for everyone.
If Sinterklaas and Piet are on the steamer on its way to the Netherlands, the ship sinks in a storm. How can there be Sinterklaas festivities now in the Netherlands? Will the Sint's Birthday still be celebrated on December 5th? Where are Sint & Piet? And are there any presents washed up the shore?
All questions that Annie M.G. answered in her own way, with a lot of humor and down to earth, like we are used to with her.
3 eternally radiant stars for De heerlijkste 5 december in 574 jaar, from all the readers and their little listeners!
