About this audiobook
A young messenger. A secret mission. A kingdom in peril.
It is the dead of night. Sixteen-year-old Tiuri must spend hours locked in a chapel in silent contemplation if he is to be knighted the next day. But, as he waits by the light of a flickering candle, he hears a knock at the door and a voice desperately asking for help. A secret letter must be delivered to King Unauwen across the Great Mountains — a letter upon which the fate of the entire kingdom depends. Tiuri has a vital role to play, one that might cost him his knighthood.
Tiuri's journey will take him through dark, menacing forests, across treacherous rivers, to sinister castles and strange cities. He will encounter evil enemies who would kill to get the letter, but also the best of friends in the most unexpected places. He must trust no one. He must keep his true identity secret. Above all, he must never reveal what is in the letter....
The Letter for the King is the thrilling story of one boy's battle against evil, set in an enchanted world of chivalry, courage, and true friendship.

En 1941 se desencadenó la guerra en el Este, Japón invadió la India neerlandesa y Dragt, con 12 años, fue a parar a un campamento japonés con su madre y sus dos hermanas pequeñas. Allí, inspirada por Jules Verne, escribe su primer «libro».

En 1961 apareció su primer libro: Aventuras de dos gemelos diferentes. Un año después llegó Carta al rey, que fue elegido Mejor libro juvenil del año y en 2004 recibió en su país el Griffel der Griffels («Premio de los Premios») reconociéndolo como el mejor libro juvenil de los últimos cincuenta años. En 1976 Tonke fue premiada por el conjunto de su obra con el Premio Nacional de Literatura Infantil y Juvenil.
