Due to the poor quality of the paper they are often neglected by collectors and academics; this is despite the quality of the stories, as they contain some of the best youth literature of the time. Many writers and illustrators also made their name with the series, such as Charles Boots, Bert Voeten and André Rutten. Other writers who wrote for the series include Hans de la Rive Box, Nor Heerkens and Anny Hulsmans. Collections of this size are quite rare. Likely contains titles not in KB.
