| 520 | _a"Texel" by Jac. P. Thijsse is an illustrated nature guide and travelogue written in the early 20th century. It presents the Dutch island of Texel through vivid field observations, gentle memoir, and suggested routes, with a strong emphasis on birdlife, dunes, polders, and changing landscapes. The work blends natural history with local customs and an early conservation ethos, inviting readers to explore the island’s flora, fauna, and seascapes. The opening of the book sets Texel alongside Europe’s great “playgrounds,” then recalls the author’s arrival in the 1890s as a young schoolmaster, his swift attachment to the island, and a two‑day walk around its entire coast. He sketches the terrain—tuunwallen, stolp farmsteads, dunes, beaches, slufters, and polders—while noting memorable encounters with shorebirds and seabirds, and the island culture of egg-finding, skating, and polsstok jumping. Subsequent pages turn to inland discoveries: small alder groves and rich dune valleys like the Fonteinsnol and the Mient, once brimming with gentians, orchids, and marsh birds, and later altered by drainage and afforestation. The narrative then shifts into a guide-like excursion with a school group: the ferry crossing, porpoises in the Texelstroom, cycling via De Waal through the polder Waal en Burg to De Koog, watching avocets, godwits, lapwings, and wildflowers, and visiting the guarded gull and tern colony at De Staart (including a freshly hatching chick and a swimming lapwing chick). At the start of the next chapter, the party rides toward Oosterend and the polder Het Noorden, where the author contrasts the former overwhelming bird abundance with the still-notable “Bol,” before pausing on the Waddenzeedijk to peer into the sluice waters and glimpse marine life.
