Pietje Bell, drawn by Jan Rinke in Chris van Abkoude's 1914 novel Pietje Bell of de lotgevallen van een ondeugenden jongen

The Pietje Bell series of novels (orig. Dutch: Pietje Bell boeken) is a series of children's books written by the Dutch writer Chris van Abkoude. It's about a little boy who gets himself into trouble.[1][2]

The story has been adapted to film twice. Once in 1964, as De Avonturen van Pietje Bell, by Henk van der Linden and second in 2002 and 2003 by Maria Peters.

In 2003 Ruud Bos adapted the novel into a musical called Pietje Bell - De Musical.

Dick Matena also adapted the novel into a comic book album.[3][4]
