Een acht en twintigtal voorwerpen uit de natuurlijke geschiedenis, geschikt voor rederijkers- & nutsvoordrachten, in den trant van de gedichten van den schoolmeester, met een aanbevelend woord van wijlen Mr. J. Van Lennep

A whimsical compendium of short verses brings together twenty‑eight creatures from the natural world, each rendered in the lively cadence of the classic “schoolmaster” poet. The author, a physician from Buren, treats owls, ducks, moles and even the humble leech with a mixture of gentle observation and sharp wit, inviting listeners to savor the charm of bygone spelling while enjoying modern, unobtrusive corrections.

Designed as material for rhetorical and “nuts” speeches, the poems double as light‑hearted language practice, offering ample opportunities to rehearse cadence, humor and poetic feeling. The introductory notes explain the editorial choices and provide easy access to historical spellings, making the collection both an entertaining listening experience and a modest lesson in linguistic heritage.

Whether you are looking for a brief, cheerful interlude or a friendly gift for a lover of animal lore, the collection’s cheerful tone and deft wordplay promise a pleasant hour of listening without demanding any heavy plot twists.
