The authors have clearly looked much farther than wooden shoes and tulips... Even the way the Dutch stir sugar in their coffee has not escaped their notice and not until you read this book from cover to cover do you understand how much Dutch behavior, that we consider as completely normal ourselves, borders on insanity for a non-Netherlander.

Everything in it is true, and only the humor with which it is written makes it at all palatable for for Dutch people themselves.
