Summary "De ridders van den halven toren" by A. C. C. de Vletter is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a couple, Mr. and Mrs. Broekenaaier, who are facing the challenges of childlessness and boredom in their lives. In a moment of inspiration, Mr. Broekenaaier comes up with a plan to adopt a child, setting off a series of comedic and heartwarming events that explore themes of family, community, and the joy of childhood. The opening of the book introduces the couple living in a quaint house on the outskirts of a village called Kooten. Both Mr. and Mrs. Broekenaaier are depicted as somewhat grumpy due to their unfulfilled desire for children, leading to a mundane and quiet lifestyle. Mr. Broekenaaier's eureka moment to place an advertisement seeking a child to adopt sets the tone for the story. The couple's discussions about the kind of child they want, their various ideas, and the reactions from the locals lay the foundation for the unfolding narrative about their lives changing dramatically in pursuit of joy and companionship through the addition of a child to their home.
