Piet Bakker
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Piet Oege Bakker (Rotterdam, 10 August 1897–Amsterdam, 1 April 1960) was a Dutch journalist and author. He was joint editor for many years of the weekly magazine Elseviers Weekblad.
His most famous work was the trilogy written between 1941 and 1946 dealing with the experiences of the street urchin Ciske Vrijmoeth, alias Ciske the Rat. These novels sold in their hundreds of thousands, and later appeared in translation in more than ten other countries. The story has been filmed twice, in 1955 and 1984, and a musical version is planned for October 2007.
