Jippus et jannica sidepicll

Nice to see Jip & Janneke in the hands of gymnasium kids. Let's take a good look, of course, they are Jippus et Jannica, in Latin. Curious what Annie and Fiep would have thought of that ;) We think it is very nice to see these old children's heroes in a language from classical times.

We do not know who came up with this idea, but we do think that the translator has also enjoyed this a lot. The funny next door children, always with their pets in tow. Jip & Janneke, who sometimes also got into mischief must make a a nice change from Livius or Caesar.

The book was originally published in hardcover but in 2008 also in paperback, in a bilingual version (Latin / Dutch). Unfortunately both books can only be found second-hand. Or maybe also in the library. It may take some searching, but in Rotterdam you have a good chance at De Slegte

3 supernovae for Jippus et jannica, an awesome book for gymnasiasts, students or fans of classical languages!
