Country life special Striking outdoorsy people

Landleven cherishes the stories of the past, the people who tell them and the people who want to hear them. Not to get stuck in the past, but to enjoy the present and, no matter how corny it may sound, also to learn from it.

Stories that live on, that is a better description for this special about ordinary people in the countryside.

The stories are a mix of recognition, admiration, amazement, a smile and a tear. These are also stories that simply belong in the regular editions of Landleven or have already been published in previous years, but are more than worth including in a preservation issue like this, actually a book.
The book series entitled Plattelanders was previously published as a collection of the reports that copywriter Margreet Welink and photographer Lode Greven made for Landleven.
