There are stories that could only have come from here. From the fog-threaded canals of Bruges, from the deep wood of European folklore, from the particular kind of imagination that grows when you've spent a lifetime surrounded by old magic and older tales.
Kabouterpers is a Bruges-based independent publisher with its roots in Celtic mythology, European folklore and the rich tradition of fantasy storytelling in Dutch. Named after the kabouter — the small, secretive folk of the Low Countries, known long before garden gnomes made them respectable — Kabouterpers publishes fantasy and young adult fiction that takes the strange seriously. Stories with texture. Worlds with history. Characters who feel the weight of what they carry.
From the cobblestoned mysteries of the De Heks van Brugge series to new voices in Flemish fantasy and young adult fiction, Kabouterpers books are made for readers who want something with a little more depth, a little more darkness, and a great deal more magic than the average shelf has to offer.
Independent. Flemish. Thoroughly enchanted.
