We could dream away for hours with books about school adventures, warm families, cozy groups of friends and first crushes. You must have read these five books as a girl!
1. Pitty to boarding school
Pitty to Boarding School is a book series by British author Enid Blyton. The series is about the boarding school years of the English girl Pitty. Pitty in third, Pitty in fourth grade, and so on. A boarding school? We didn’t know that here at all. The pinnacle of Pitty’s boarding school years were surreptitious late-night parties at the cold chicken dorm. To be able to experience that one day, that’s what every teenage girl dreamed of.
2. The roguish twins
The girls’ books ‘The roguish twins’ are about the twins Ellis and Thelma who are like two drops of water. There were endless particles about the roguish twins. The roguish twins go on an adventure, the roguish twins get roller skates, and so on. A man falls into the water through their fault, they put snowballs in the neighbor’s bed and smuggle a dog to a wedding. Little fun, but the books of the roguish twins, you could go on for years with them. Who remembers?

3. Anneke Bloemen’s books
Girls who grew up in the 1960s and loved to read could indulge themselves in the books of the writer Anneke Bloemen. Girls’ books about minor suffering and brave adventures. Bloemen only wrote a whole series about one main character, often at the request of the publisher. And so we got to know Polly Parker (Polly wears a sun hat), Merel van Haeghe (Daisies for Merel), Loesje Mertens (Loesje gets the blame) and Annemieke Over (Annemieke says goodbye). Names and titles from a bygone era. Who remembers? Who else has them?
4. Joop ter Heul
Joop ter Heul was the main character in Cissy van Marxveld’s pre-war books. In Joop ter Heul’s De HBS-tijd we get acquainted with her clumsy long arms, big feet, spiky hair and club of friends the Jopopinoloukico club. Even in the 1970s, the daughters and granddaughters of the first generation of readers still enjoyed reading the books about Joop ter Heul. And just like their mothers, they experienced how Joop changed from a lively teenage girl into a caring mother and wife. Who remembers?
5. School idylls
In 1900, writer Top Naeff wrote the classic School Idyllen. Now, more than a century later, the book is still for sale in reprint. School idyllen is about the school days of Jet van Marle and her friends. Jet is an orphan and is lovingly raised by her aunt and uncle. She finds joy in life with her friends and in singing. At the end of the book, Jet dies after falling into the ditch and as a reader you cry along with the friends. Crying my eyes out. Who remembers?
