An innocent walk to a friend's house turns out very complicated when Evert somehow manages to arrive with a baby. The book revolves around how these two men can safely return the baby without getting caught. It's a book filled with humor and the love you start to feel for the characters. It's a fun read. ( ) "Two Old Men and a Baby" is a delightful book that was very easy to read. It is the 3rd book in the Hendrik Groen series but I was able to enjoy it without having read the first two. As an American, I liked the Dutch humor and found it hilarious. It think the storyline would make a good, comedic movie plot. no reviews | add a review

"Nine years before the events of the #1 international bestseller The Secret Diary of Hendrik Groen, 83 1/4 Years Old, Hendrik and his best friend Evert embark on a madcap adventure -- with an unexpected guest. 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.."-- No library descriptions found. |
