This book is a window into a world that is both far off and very near. It is the world of Dutch immigrants to Canada in the 1950s, seen through the sharp and sensitive eyes of Rev. Anthony de Jager (1922-2010).
Under the pen name Arie Dof, De Jager wrote the highly popular series Arie en Katrien in Canada for Calvinist Contact. With warmth and wit, he sketched the everyday experiences of Dutch immigrants navigating life in an unfamiliar land. These short, humorous, and sometimes poignant stories catch the rhythms, tensions, and textures of a fledgling immigrant community.
Expertly translated by Rev. George van Popta, with affection and an insider's ear, these perceptive sketches are now available in English for the first time.
