de gouden gitaar

'De gouden gitaar' is the very first children's book Paul Biegel ever wrote. Looking for a wonderful story to read? You can now enjoy this tale in a gorgeous new edition featuring brand-new illustrations by Ingrid and Dieter Schubert.

Right in the middle of a meadow full of buttercups, beneath a blackberry bush, lives Jodokus the field mouse. Ever since the angry owl Braat devoured his family, he has been hiding in fear, with only his guitar for company. He plays beautifully and gets an invitation to make music at the mayor's birthday party. Hesitantly, he leaves his hiding place and plays his heart out, until a rain shower disrupts everything. Jodokus ends up in an old wooden shoe and sails straight toward adventure...

Paul Biegel's first book, 'De gouden gitaar', came out in 1962. In honor of his 100th birthday, Ingrid and Dieter Schubert created new illustrations for this wonderful story, bringing a beloved classic to a whole new generation of readers.
