Sun over the Peel - Toon Kortooms

Like many of his other popular works, Zon over de Peel is a collection of short, humorous sketches and stories. The book is an ode to the peatlands of North Brabant and Limburg (De Peel) and the colourful characters who live there.

Where the Peel was often described in older literature as a bleak, dark and impoverished place, Kortooms literally and figuratively shines a 'sun' on it in this book. He highlights the warmth, humanity and indestructible humour of the Peel inhabitants.
