Peppie het poesje

In 1963 Willy Schermele his books about Peppie het poesje (Peppie the pussy-cat) been published in Dutch.
Although Peppie is a cat he lives the same live like human beings. Just like it is the case in all fables. I loved to read those books and watch the (black and white) pictures also made by Willy Schermele.

My memory of Peppie's mother is one of a great cook.
If she was cooking or baking you started to drool and you could really smell it.
Willy Schermele had a great way of telling about the daily adventures of Peppie.
He knew how to paint clear pictures and not only catch but also keep your attention.

In 1972 the books been published again. Also new adventures came. Prikkeltje (Prick) the hedgehog came into Peppie his life. Peppie found him at the end of the winter in his dad's boot. He had his winter rest in there.
Although this hedgehog had a mother he wanted to stay with Peppie, mostly because of the great food Peppie's mom gave him. Prikkeltje ate more as a whole family. Just once in a while he visited his own mother.
Although Prikkeltje wanted to sleep next to Peppie, sharing the same bed was not possible because of his spines. So he slept in the drawer next to him.

Willy Schermele wrote much more books. They were also published in England.
Have a look at some of his pictures and let yourself take away to the fairyland.
