Night Watch, Adventure with Rembrandt

Sample

t’s a fascinating story, in which fact and fiction are deftly mingled. Here are Jan Vermeer and Pieter de Hoogh imagined as apprentices in Rembrandt’s studio; Henje, a young English girl whose father is in Holland on a secret mission; the great artist himself; his lovely wife Saskia, and other picturesque Dutch characters—not forgetting the puppy Kris, always in the center of every event!

From the moment when Henje, lost in the streets of Amsterdam, is rescued by Jan and Piet, events move with exciting speed. There is the mystery of the missing prints; the drama of the painting of the great Night Watch picture; danger and adventure when a baby is kidnapped; fun and frolics on St. Nicholas’ Day, all woven into an absorbing plot that will delight young readers.

Pair this historical fiction about the artist Rembrandt with his Picture Portfolio and a non-fiction title about him!
