Produktbeschreibung
Mars B. van 't Veer (1945) wrote these very short fairy tales for his children, but he also had in mind the people he encountered in his daily life as a medical specialist. At bedtime, he would tell his children about the adventures of Wopke the gnome, and the animals who also lived in the Woods. Miraculous things apparently happened. But, do miraculous things really happen?People at times have to seek a cure from their doctors. But a cure is not always possible. Nor is recovery. But in those moments, it is often harsh reality that shapes the conversation. However, is harsh reality the only truth?Grown-ups sometimes ask themselves these questions - especially in difficult times. And sometimes they ask other grown-ups. But they don't ask children, certainly not animals or gnomes. That is a pity, because children, animals, and gnomes have thoughts of their own on such matters. Perhaps they too can help guide grown-ups towards an answer.Enjoy the read. Really, these fairy tales are very short.
Autorenporträt
Mars B. van 't Veer (1945) schreef deze zeer korte sprookjes voor zijn kinderen, maar ook denkend aan de mensen die hij in het dagelijkse leven als medisch specialist ontmoette. Voor het slapengaan van de kinderen vertelde hij over deze en andere avonturen van kabouter Wopke en de dieren in het Dierenbos. Dan konden er wonderlijke dingen gebeuren. Maar gebeuren sprookjes ook echt? Mensen zoeken genezing bij hun arts. Maar genezing is niet altijd mogelijk. En beter worden ook niet. Dan bepaalt vaak de harde realiteit de inhoud van het gesprek. Maar is de harde waarheid dan het enige?Die vragen stellen grote mensen soms aan zichzelf, zeker in moeilijke tijden. En soms aan andere grote mensen. Maar niet aan kinderen. En zeker niet aan dieren of kabouters.Dat is jammer, want kinderen, dieren en kabouters hebben daar ook zo hun gedachten over. Misschien kunnen ook zij grote mensen op weg helpen naar een antwoord. Echt, deze sprookjes zijn maar zeer kort.
