Craandijk’s books became a hit. Thick pills with stories and drawings that looked nice on the coffee table. And suddenly many people wanted to see with their own eyes what the walking pastor, as he was called, was talking about. Craandijk’s books started walking tourism.
Writer Flip van Doorn, who loves walking, discovered that he himself is a distant relative of Craandijk and wrote a book about him; The first walker.
But before Jesse goes for a walk with Flip, he first gets a lesson from a master painter who understands the art like no other. In the studio of master painter Fred Pouw in Naarden fortress, the painted marble is indistinguishable from the real thing.
