Families and children

For the young public there will be a book entitled Joppe de Boekenworm. Verhalen verborgen in een middeleeuws handschrift. Joppe is one of a long line of bookworms that resides in the magnificent Anjou Bible. The book is their home and they know it inside out. An enthusiastic Joppe tells the story of the bible, a story of friendship, treachery and love, of allergies and fear, of unconcealed murder and extraordinary courage. Thus the history of the Anjou Bible is revealed first hand and uncensored by the book’s inhabitants. Katharina Smeyers’ disarming story is published by Davidsfonds/Infodok. On sale at the M shop: €19.95 ( in Dutch)

On family Sundays children aged under 13 are our special guests. On the family Sunday on October 3rd (14.00 to 16.00 hrs) Joppe, the bookworm will hog the limelight. Argus-eyed, we will search for traces of Joppe and for the most fanciful animals in the bible. We’ll do it all over again on November 2nd during the autumn half-term holiday.
