The story of Hans Brinker

It seems a day like any other, when little Hans sets off to visit his grandfather. The sun is shining, and happily he starts to walk along the dike. But then Hans hears the sound of trickling water, and he sees something that would terrify any Dutch child…So begins the story of Hans Brinker, the boy who saved his country from a flood by putting his finger in the dike. The symbol of the ongoing battle against the water is colourfully revived in this book, and still has a lesson to teach us: by taking action at the right time, even the smallest child can become a big hero!
