Hoogstraten and Flanders

This is a book you will not be able to put down. Hoogstraten, home to some 18,900 individuals in this third millennium, lies in Flanders at the northern border of Belgium within an enclave surrounded on three sides by the Netherlands. This book is the history of the people that inhabited and made a difference to this town, so typical now of Flanders, from Roman times to the present. The second part of the books tells the story of the Counts of Flanders ... their lives and loves and battles ... from 864 to 1405. This is enthralling fiction based on historical fact.
