Geldrop to Host Literary walking Tours Inspired by Local Author’s Work
A unique walking tour,delving into the life and literary landscape of author A. van der Heijden, is set to commence from the Geldrop Libary. The guided excursion, inspired by Han’s walking book “Through the Spiegel van Afth. Van der Heijden,” invites participants to explore the region that shaped the author’s childhood and early life.
