About this audiobook
The lovable curmudgeon Hendrik Groen is back, and as funny and charming as ever in a new adventure with the Old-But-Not-Dead Club—perfect for fans of Frederik Backman and Graeme Simision.
Everyone's favorite octogenarian and his pals are more determined than ever to wreak havoc and turn a twinkly eye on the brighter side of life.
After a year spent mourning the death of his beloved friend Eefje, Hendrik may be older and a little more wobbly, but his youthful appetite for mischief hasn't diminished.
When fears arise that the home is set for demolition, it's up to Hendrik and the Old-But-Not-Dead Club to intervene.
