Excerpt from Katrina and Jan Sitting on the doorstep of one of the pretty red-roofed houses, set close to the dike, in the quaint little fishing Village of Volendam, was a yellow-haired, blue-eyed Dutch lass. Her name was Katrina Rijs. On her lap She held a fat, round Dutch cheese which she was busily polishing. Standing motionless on one leg and watching her intently from the top of a high pole, apparently placed there especially for his use, was a Stork.

Since early dawn Katrina had been hard at work. She had helped her mother with the weekly baking of black bread. She had scrubbed and scoured the pots and pans, as only a Dutch girl knows how to do, and then when there was nothing left to polish, she had patted into shape the precious mounds of home-made cheese, and now she was polishing them With oil that they, too, might glisten. Vrouw rijs eyed her daughter as she sat there on the doorstep. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
