Stefan Ahnhem

”As a kid, I never dreamt of being a writer. Putting letters in the right order to form words did not come easily to me. In school, while the rest of my class had Swedish lessons, a strange-smelling lady would pull me out of the classroom to play with wooden blocks painted with colourful letters.

For as long as I can remember, however, I have been a passionate storyteller. Growing up as an only child undoubtedly sparked my creativity, and all the hours spent playing by myself fed my vivid imagination. My grandfather’s rocking chair was a marvellous spacecraft able to transport me to all the planets in the universe. And the world map that my teacher stubbornly refused to pull down revealed precisely where the secret treasure was buried.

Ernest Claes

Andreas Ernestus Josephus (Ernest) Claes was een Vlaamse schrijver.
Hij was het zevende kind van Jozef Claes en Theresia Lemmens, landbouwers. Wanneer hij negen jaar oud was stierf zijn vader aan longproblemen. Ook hijzelf had een zwakke gezondheid.
Vanaf 1898 tot 1905 studeerde hij aan het "Collège patronné de Herenthals", waar de clerus begaafde jongeren uit de arbeidersklasse gratis onderwijs verstrekte, weliswaar in het Frans. Daar ligt ook de kiem van zijn flamigantisme. Hij toonde zich een goed student en ging vanaf 1906 "Philologie Germanique" studeren aan de (franstalige) Leuvense universiteit. Zijn reeds aangehaalde Vlaamsgezindheid bracht hem regelmatig in moeilijkheden.
In 1912 huwde hij met Stephanie Claes-Vetter, een Nederlandse s
