My favourite childhood book is Crusade in Jeans which I first read when I was eight or nine. It’s a very famous Dutch children’s book written by Thea Beckman about a modern-day boy who gets throw back in time and lands in the middle of the children’s crusade of 1212 when thousands of children travelled across Europe to liberate the Holy Land. The book been translated in English and it a fantastic read about the power of knowledge and friendship.
