At Muis Maartje's school, Rik the raccoon learns good manners over the course of a day: from greeting and introducing himself to saying thank you, apologizing, offering help or giving way. The illustrations and simple dialogues show everyday situations to present courtesy and respect as part of living together.

Suitable for children aged 5 and up, and for parents and educators working on civic and social education.
"Captain" James Maclaine was an Irish man of a respectable presbyterian family who had a brief but notorious career as a mounted highwayman in London with his accomplice William Plunkett. He was known as "The Gentleman Highwayman" as a result of his courteous behaviour during his robberies, and obtained a certain kind of celebrity. Notoriously, he held up and robbed Horace Walpole at gunpoint: eventually he was hanged at Tyburn.
