Hans Hagen
Hans Hagen (b. 1955) is a versatile and award-winning author and poet who writes for all age groups, often about other cultures. In the early 1990s, he became well known for his anecdotal stories for younger readers, about the lively, imaginative Jubelientje and her grandma, with illustrations by Philip Hopman, who also illustrated Hagen’s Gouden Griffel-winning De dans van de drummers (2003), a frame story set in Ghana.
