Martjie beland saam met ’n leeu in een van die Pagel-sirkus se treintrokke – en nadat sy die mense van die sirkus leer ken, weet sy dat haar lewe nooit weer dieselfde sal wees nie. Hierdie aangrypende, aksiebelaaide verhaal is losweg op die geskiedenis van die beroemde Pagel-sirkus geskoei.

When Martjie accidentally ends up in a train carriage with a circus lion, she knows her life will never be the same again. This touching, action-packed novel is loosely based on the history of the famous Pagel circus.

This exciting new series of books` are now available in Spanish too.  These books tells about the nonstop escapades of a sharp-thinking little dog named Willy Nilly and his gung ho rabbit friend, Thumper.
Willy Nilly & Thumper stick together through thick and thin. They also have an uncanny knack for getting into thrilling adventures where you never know what’s going to happen next! They take great pride in doing the right thing and helping friends and neighbors in need.
Willy Nilly is a natural-born leader who makes his home in the hollow part of a beautiful tree. A planner by nature, Willy Nilly is very practical and precise.
He likes to think things through and figure out the best course of action at every bend in the road. His careful nature sure comes in handy when he and Thumper find themselves in dangerous situations.
Thumper lives close to Willy Nilly in his comfortable underground rabbit-hole house. Unlike his best friend, Thumper is impulsive and ready to just cut loose and go!
When he and Willy Nilly find themselves in a tight spot, Thumper would rather spring into action—and think through the details later.
The fun and excitement with these two never ends, and your kids will learn positive values along the way.

BACKGROUND
Sea Stories is a collection of stories from around the world – from “Hans and the hole” in Haarlem to the harvesters of seabird nests Adhi and Sinta in the East. But there are also many local stories about the Birkenhead Command, “The Flying Dutchman”, the Alibama, Wolraad Woltemade, the Hole-in-the-Wall at esiKhaleni where the water people come to fetch you, “The ghosts of Jutten Island”, “Adamastor and the Cape of Storms” and the shepherd from Macassar who found Sheik Yusuf’s grave amongst the dunes. Sea Stories also contains adaptations of The Little Mermaid, the tale of Princess Elisa and her eleven swan brothers, and the West Coast farmer Koos Malgas who stole his wife’s seal skin. And of course Hare tricks Salt Water Crocodile. The charming illustrations by Marjorie van Heerden will carry a little reader away to a magical world full of oceanic wonder.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Wendy Maartens lives in Table View – only a stone’s throw from the “big blue dam”, Rietvlei’s lagoon and the West Coast where everything centres around the turn of the tide, the early morning’s catch and stories from long ago. She is an author of children’s books, a journalist, a translator and a dreamer. In 2005 her book Lena se bottelboom was placed on Exclusive Books’ “Publisher’s Choice” List and in 2006 Maartens received an honourable mention at the Noma Awards. Twice she has also been a finalist at the ATKV’s Veertjie Awards: In 2006 for Lena se Bottelboom and in 2007 for a column.
