drie stoutertjes

In 1958 the series of books about the adventures of the Drie Stouterdjes appeared. Annie and  Fiep made these books for the Persil company; they could be obtained in exchange for points  from Persil, Ata and Dixan detergents. The campaign was a great success and was soon followed by books about Prelientje and about the racoons Pluis and Poezeltje.   

Mies Bouhuys
After Annie and Fiep had stopped doing Jip and Janneke, Mies Bouhuys wrote the adventures of the cats Pim and Pom for the children’s column. Fiep did the illustrations, and a new endearing and appealing pair was born. Fiep’s collaboration with Mies Bouhuys was also to last for decades.
