Moving, honest, and hilarious: the continuation of Hape's life story. Hape Kerkeling at his best: In his new book, he not only continues key stages of his life but also delves deep into the eventful history of his ancestors. Touching and with his unparalleled sense of humor, he recounts his childhood in the seventies and the heyday of television entertainment, stories of love, destiny, and the Dutch Golden Age. He takes us back to the beginnings of his television career and to the early days of the Kerckring family, to the flourishing Amsterdam of the 17th century. He playfully weaves together memories with research, personal experiences with history and genealogy. And finally, he uncovers an incredible secret that surrounded his beloved grandmother Bertha throughout her life.
