Hendrik Groen and Evert Duiker, faithful friends in good and bad times, are well over seventy and their lives have quieted down. They see each other once a week to play chess, have a drink, and grab a bite to eat while reflecting on life. But one day, their peace is rudely disturbed when Evert shows up on Hendrik's doorstep with a surprise in the form of an unexpected little guest. He had spotted a stroller with a baby in it -- unattended for just a minute -- and, in a moment of utter madness, decided to take it for a walk. Hilarious, right? Not to Hendrik, who can barely believe his friend's stupidity. After Evert recovers from his momentary lapse of sanity, the two seventy-year-olds resolve to return their charge to its parents -- hopefully without being noticed. But the quiet neighborhood is now swarmed by bumbling police officers, and they realize that getting rid of their accidental foster child will be more difficult than expected.."-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C3687073</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C3687073</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Groen, Hendrik]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3687073030</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Or, How Hendrik and Evert Get Themselves Into A Jam</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781538754566/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the Bright Side]]></title><description><![CDATA[Octogenarian curmudgeon Hendrik emerges from a year of mourning the death of his beloved friend Eefje to help the Old-But-Not-Dead Club save their home from demolition plans.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C3446039</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C3446039</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Groen, Hendrik]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3446039030</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The New Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen, 85 Years Old</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781538746639/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the Bright Side]]></title><description><![CDATA[Everyone's favorite octogenarian is back and, together with his pals in the Old-But-Not-Dead Club, he is more determined than ever to wreak havoc and turn a twinkly eye on the brighter side of life.

He dreams of escaping the confines of his care home and practicing hairpin turns on his mobility scooter. Inspired by his fellow members of the recently formed Old-but-Not-Dead Club, he vows to put down his custard cream and commit to a spot of octogenarian anarchy. But the care home's director will not stand for drunken bar crawls, illicit fireworks, and geriatric romance on her watch. The Old-But-Not-Dead Club must stick together if they're not to go gently into that good night. Things turn more serious, however, when rumors surface that the home is set for demolition. It's up to Hendrik and the gang to stop it-or drop dead trying ...He may be the wrong side of eighty-five, but Hendrik Groen has no intention of slowing up-or going down without a fight.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C3446430</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C3446430</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Groen, Hendrik]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3446430030</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle>The New Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen, 85 Years Old</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781549179129/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[On the Bright Side]]></title><description><![CDATA[Octogenarian curmudgeon Hendrik emerges from a year of mourning the death of his beloved friend Eefje to help the Old-But-Not-Dead Club save their home from demolition plans.]]></description><link>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C3813128</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S30C3813128</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Groen, Hendrik]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://seattle.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3813128030</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>The New Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen, 85 Years Old</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781538746615/MC.GIF&amp;client=sepup&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen, 83 1/4 Years Old]]></title><description><![CDATA["Hendrik Groen may be old, but he is far from dead and isn't planning to be buried any time soon.
