Looking for a Dutch childrens book translated in English

[marysha]

Hello to you all,

I'm looking for two Dutch childrens books translated in English, I know they exist, but they seem to be out of publish now.
The titles: Bob and Jilly (original name: Jip en Janneke)
Dusty and Smudge (original name: Floddertje)
These books have several episodes, so they usually added something to these titles.
The publisher is Methuen in the UK, but they don't even seem to print them anymore. I've tried bookshops in Holland, but they can't help me. It's supposed to be a Christmas present to my boyfriends English nephew who is by then almost three years old... He obviously doesn't understand Dutch, so I really need an English copy. Is there anyone who can help me? Second hand books are fine, as long as they're in a good state.
Please email me!

Hi. I wanted to send you an email but you need to change your user settings.

You can search book seller sites - I used http://www.bookfinder.com; author and title searches gave me different results.

You can also try contacting the site for the author Annie M.G. Schmidt.

thanks!

thanks for your reply!

i tried Annie M.G. Schmidt's website, it didn't really help me any further and in the meantime, my boyfriend told me his nephew doesn't really like books all that much (to my deepest regret....), so i've bought him some nice items with the illustrations on it. It might not mean the same thing to him as it did to me, since i grew up with these books.

But thanks for your help anyway!
