The book will be full of personal, warm, vulnerable, humorous, topical and mythical stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Publisher Eddy van der Noord of Uitgeverij Louise is enthusiastic about the project. He considers it important that the book also gives attention to regional languages such as Stellingwerfs, Snekers and Bildts. &#8220;This gift book helps keep those regional languages and Frisian alive. One of the writers has already finished his story, and I don&#8217;t want to discourage the other writers, but the bar is set high.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Fryske Boekewike: 31 October to 8 November 2026<\/strong> <\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the entire Book Week, the 2026 Gift Book is available for free with the purchase of at least \u20ac15 worth of Frisian books.
