Pietje Puk wordt clown by Henri Arnoldus

Why read the book?

Stepping into the ring as a clown is a joyful turn for a postman who already loves to make people smile. The story is full of bright, gentle fun as Pietje tries out tricks and tumbles for the delight of Keteldorp.

The familiar village faces look on, and Pietje's natural good humour makes the part fit him like a glove. It is a sunny, simple tale that captures just how much happiness one cheerful man can spread.
