I’m somewhat chagrined to say that I don’t know that much about the history of the country I was born in. I go to the library and the shelves are filled with books about the British Isles, and many about France, and lots about Italy and Germany and many other countries, but the Netherlands is apparently too small to rank. In Michael Pollan’s Botany of Desire, this book was mentioned so I searched the library data-base and they had it. While I found it about as dry as a packet of rusks, I did gain a new appreciation of my homeland.
