«Jip en Janneke» is the first volume of Annie M.G. Schmidt's children's series, published by Querido Kinderboek in hardback (150 pages, in Dutch).
The first volume brings together short, everyday stories of two inseparable friends: they play school, jump in puddles and find a stray dog they call Takkie. The direct, humorous tone is combined with Fiep Westendorp's black-and-white drawings.
First volume of the «Jip en Janneke» series; this edition corresponds to the 59th printing. The series was originally published in 1954.
For young children starting to read and for anyone wanting to discover a classic of Dutch children's literature.
Anna Maria Geertruida "Annie" Schmidt was a Dutch writer. She is called the mother of the Dutch theatrical song, and the queen of Dutch children's literature, praised for her "delicious Dutch idiom," and considered one of the greatest Dutch writers. An ultimate honour was extended to her posthumously, in 2007, when a group of Dutch historians compiled the "Canon of the Netherlands" and included Schmidt, alongside national icons such as Vincent van Gogh and Anne Frank.
