Holland für die Hosentasche

Why does Prince Willem-Alexander throw toilet bowls?

Why do the Dutch jump into the North Sea on New Year’s Day and then go buy furniture at Easter? Why are there backpacks on Dutch flagpoles, and did the Dutch really eat all the dodos? All you ever wanted to know about the country of windmills, tulips, wooden shoes, and cheese: fascinating and sometimes not altogether serious facts, trivia, and anecdotes about the Netherlands.
