Written by Meindert DeJong The American award-winning author of many classics loved to feature his home village of Wierum, situated on the Frisian coastline, in some of his books. Meindert's penmanship remains popular, which keeps his titles in print. Far Out the Long Canal in which his character Moonta Riermersma (sounds Frisian, right?) learns to skate finally and age 9 which propels him onto adventure.... Dirk's Dog Bello which is also about exploring home village of Wierum itself, its sky, the sea, the dikes and it local characters Aage the Roamer, Old Ott and Dikke Trien... The Big Goose and the Little White Duck as birthday gifts for Mom? The big goose loved Mom at once but Grandpa not so much. He threatened to eat it. What now? Smoke Above the Lane is about pancakes, a little skunk and a tramp, much of it inside a dark, rolling, empty boxcar that was locked on the outside. Will they get out? Four great stories. Great value (Ca$49.80) at a special price.
