Post: Hans Brinker

Posted by Conny Jensen on 4/19/08

Hans Brinker is not a Dutch Children's story at all, let
alone famous! As a native from The Netherlands it wasn't
until I met some Americans that I learned about the story of
Hans Brinker from the book by American writer Mary Mapes Dodge.
However, at some point a statue of Hans Bribkers was put in
the small town of Spaarndam near Haarlem and 10 years ago I
did go see it for the first time.
