Produktinformationen zu „When the Dikes Broke (ePub)“
Told through the harrowing experiences of the Van Rossem family of Kuyfoort, this is the story of the great flood that swept over Holland in January, 1953. The courage and heroism of the people in their fight against the encroaching sea, the search for and rescue of survivors and the reclamation of their homes and land are depicted."e;How the wind blows tonight! As if it wants to tear the house up by the roots,"e; says Tante Anna. But the van Rossem family isn't worried. Isn't their house strong and solid? And the dikes that hold back the sea-aren't they strong, too?That very night they waken to the shriek of sirens and the clang of church bells. They hear an even more frightening sound, too-the rush of water flooding the house.And then comes the cry that strikes terror to the heart of every Dutch boy and girl: "e;Get to your attic. The dike gave way!"e;
Autoren-Porträt von Alta Halverson Seymour
Alta Halverson Seymour (1893-?) was born in Deer Park, Wisconsin. When she was a little girl, she made up stories for the entertainment of her younger brother and sister, a facility for story-making that led her eventually into the world of writing. Prior to becoming a published author, she attended the University of Minnesota for both her Bachelors and Masters degrees, then owned, and operated a stenographer's company in California, before finally moving to Illinois where she lived the rest of her life. She and her husband would often travel by freighter or mail-boat to out-of-the-way places. In this way, Mrs. Seymour found interesting people and unusual situations, which furnished material for her books. Two of Alta Halverson Seymour's books¿On the Edge of the Fjord and The Tangled Skein¿were Junior Literary Guild selections.
