Katrina and Jan- by Alice Cooper Bailey,

Description: Synopsis:Excerpt from Katrina and JanSitting on the doorstep of one of the pretty red-roofed houses, set close to the dike, in the quaint little fishing Village of Volendam, was a yellow-haired, blue-eyed Dutch lass. Her name was Katrina Rijs. On her lap She held a fat, round Dutch cheese which she was busily polishing.Standing motionless on one leg and watching her intently from the top of a high pole, apparently placed there especially for his use, was a Stork. He, too, had just arrived with the Spring, and Katrina was delighted, for in Holland the family whose housetop was chosen by the stork for a nesting-place was indeed considered in great luck.Since early dawn Katrina had been hard at work. She had helped her mother with the weekly baking of black bread. She had scrubbed and scoured the pots and pans, as only a Dutch girl knows how to do, and then when there was nothing left to polish, she had patted into shape the precious mounds of home-made cheese, and now she was polishing them With oil that they, too, might glisten.Vrouw rijs eyed her daughter as she sat there on the doorstep. Paul Volland, a German immigrant, founded the P.F. Volland Company in Chicago in 1908. Volland became a publisher for the company, which was known for its high-quality illustrated children's books in the 1910s. .
