Stories from Dutch History - Pieter Louwerse (1840–1908)

National pride: Pieter Louwerse wrote this book with a clear goal: to instill love for the fatherland in young people. The stories are compelling, heroic, and romanticized.

From Batavians to Orange: The book covers the then-current canon of Dutch history. Think of the Batavians, the early Counts of Holland, the Eighty Years' War, Michiel de Ruyter's naval battles, and of course, the important role of the House of Orange.
