Hollandse Helden

Behind the great names of our history are incredible stories of explorers and stunt pilots, knights and admirals, thinkers and inventors, resistance leaders and artists. The Dutch counted, on land, at sea and in the air. Read the true stories about knight John, who was already a duke at the age of 14. About writers who traveled by carriage through Europe on cart tracks where robbers lay in wait. About sea captains who were sent by the VOC to the end of the world to search for riches on new continents. About a daredevil who collaborated with the enemy to build an airplane and about a prince who fought for the freedom of his country and paid for it with his life. About the perseverance of inventors who dedicated themselves to a better world and about the turbulent life in great poverty of one of our greatest painters.

Dutch Heroes you read in one breath and you immediately learn a lot that you need to know for school.
