The Black Tulip


I choose this book first because I had heard Black tulip was very inportant tulip in those days in Netherlands. People said if someone had Black tulip, they became very rich man. Even they could build big house.
After I finished to read this book, my impression was that this book was love story. Any age people had love. Even long time ago, men and women loved. And there were love story

In this story, Cornelius Van Baerle is main character, his job was making tulips. He try to make black tulip. In those day, nodoby made black tulip,then if somebody made black tulip,they got 100000 guilders. It must be huge sum of money. He had rival who named Isaac Boxtel lived near his house. In this connection, Cornelius was middle of 20th and Isaac was over 50t

At one time he made black tulip but unfortunally he was arrest for treason. He had to live in the jail for long time. He took black tulip with him.

But Isaac was watching this black tulip, then he stole the tulip in her room. He immediately took the black tulip with him to prove that he had glack tulip,and he get big money

Cornelius and the daughter were so sad. but finally she decided to meet Prince William to prove she had black tulip. She went to meet Prince William, she talk truth story. At last, as she has third tulip, she could proved she had black tulip. After that Cornelius was proved not to traitor.
