You want OT??? How 'bout findin' me a book by a Dutch author!!!

[redgtxdi]

I guess I'm not searching right 'cuz Google & Amazon don't seem to agree.


Stephen King isn't Dutch, so I guess "The Shining" is out..........

Close, but with this information, she'd be easily able to write a report on.........well.............Dutch Lit.

Lookin' for specifically POPULAR BOOKS by a Dutch author(s).

:wine:

Hans Brinker, or The Silver Skates. The only book ever written in whole history of Dutchland.

Also, do a Google search on boy, finger, and ***.

ROTFLMAO!!!


But, you're on the right track!! THAT'S the kind of tip I was lookin' for!!

P.S. You also have to be careful about where you say "finger in the ***" 'cuz.....(cough)......you might land yourself in a courtroom w/ Rosie O'Donnell........

Sounded good to me too, but further searching reveals the author was born in NYC.

I'm starting to think there are NO Dutch aothors of childrens books!

Hmmmm............


I think I hit on a good search...........


http://www.google.com/search?h...ldren%27s+dutch+author


Now, I'm taking those authors (stockum, for example) and plugging them into Amazon's "advanced search" to get some results. (No need to narrow down to "children's" books so I can leave the Amazon search more broad-based as the author should be "children's-only" already).

Example

Of course by NYC you mean New Amsterdam, right?

I don't think so but hopefully I'm mistaken!

Nice work!


The Winged Watchman looks like it could work depending on how old your kid is.

Pippy Longstockings and Karlsons (you know, the fat kid with a propeller on his head) are Dutch.
